Taking Medications<br />
1. Take only your own mediation<br />
for the purpose that it is<br />
pre scribed.<br />
2. Know what all your medications<br />
are for.<br />
3. Be aware that some medication<br />
does not mix well with other<br />
med i ca tion. If you have any<br />
doubt, ask your pharmacist or<br />
your physician.<br />
4. Regularly report med i ca tion<br />
reactions to your physician,<br />
both whether the medication<br />
is working as it is supposed to<br />
and problems that you’re having<br />
since you began taking the<br />
medication.<br />

5. Remember, if you are getting<br />
pre scrip tions from several<br />
phy si cians, you may actually be<br />
receiving the same drug with a<br />
different name. Make it a practice<br />
to alert all your physicians<br />
about all of the med i ca tions<br />
that you are taking, in clud ing<br />
over-the-counter med i ca tions<br />
and eye drops. Keep a list of all<br />
med i ca tions taken and review<br />
with your physician.<br />
6. Be alert to the onset of problems<br />
like confusion, which can<br />
result in falls, other accidents,<br />
and problems in judgment.<br />
Med i ca tion may be the culprit.
