People suffering from chronic or long-term illnesses may require multiple medications per day to manage or recover from their conditions. If not properly administered, this can result in adverse drug effects or serious complications. That is why proper management of one’s medications is essential. A reliable medication regimen can improve medication compliance, manage symptoms, and accelerate recovery.
Here are some useful tips to remember:
- Label and organize various medications using pill boxes to avoid missing doses.
- Examine the expiration dates on all medications to prevent adverse drug effects.
- Improve your knowledge and skills on proper medication administration by taking medication aide courses.
