Patients
We wish to make you effective partners in your care
Though identifying your illness and prescribing the right medication is a very crucial step in your treatment, how you respond to your treatment depends on the way you take your medications.
Due to various reasons, patients are not educated on all the aspects of their medications, leading to poor outcomes like worsening of disease, lack of response, hospitalization, side effects etc.
This is exactly where we will help you by giving you the following information to help you understand your medications and help you take them in the right way.
- The medication’s trade name, generic name, its therapeutic class and actions.
- The medication’s use and expected benefits.
- The medication’s route, dosage form, dosage, and administration schedule.
- Directions to fit medications into patients’ lifestyles or work environments.
- Action to be taken in case of a missed dose.
- Potential common side effects that may occur, actions to prevent or minimize their occurrence, and actions to take if they occur.
- Potential drug–drug, drug–food, and drug–disease interactions or contraindications.
- Proper storage of the medication.
- Proper disposal of contaminated or discontinued medications.
- Any other information unique to an individual patient or medication.
