Taking the Guesswork Out of Prescriptions
Whenever the list of diagnoses grows long, organizing all the prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, and supplements can turn into a burden. Forgetting their effects or can prove dangerous - sometimes leading to short or long-term side effects, drug interactions, or worse.
Thankfully, there are ways to combat this. Stay safe with these five tips.
1. Create A Master List
Maintain a list of all ingested drugs, and present this to your medical provider, to ensure they are aware of any potential issues. Update this consistently.
2. Accurate Labeling
Having medications stored separately in a container with their purpose reduces the risk of inappropriate dosage, and minimizes any confusion.
3. Keep It Simple
Limit the number of different doctors and pharmacies to make provider communication and medication pick up a breeze! No need to juggle information from a million different sources.
4. Develop A Daily Schedule
Staying on schedule makes everything easier! A schedule will help create a healthy habit of medication consistency, especially since drug effectiveness can be limited by irregularity.
5. Start Journaling
You know what you’re taking, but do you know how your body is reacting to your medications? Keeping track of physical reactions to prescriptions will provide your doctor with valuable feedback, and will restrict adverse effects.
If medication management continues to present itself as a challenge, the professionals at Nursing Specialities are here to help. Our team can provide a customized medication schedule and regimen, and help you stay independent through education on proper dosage, frequency, and side effects.
