– Your doctor is a professional and has the right education. He knows why you should take a certain medication and how, so you should trust him and follow his instructions.
– Take the right dose at the right time. It’s the best way to make sure your prescription works properly, and the best way to protect yourself against adverse side effects.
– Ignoring instructions or not following them in the right way can cause serious health problems, and in some cases even death.
– If you suffer from side effects of medication that you are taking, don`t stop using it before you talk to your doctor. Maybe this medication is not the cause of it. Your doctor will know if the dose is a problem or something else. Also, he will know what you should do in order to feel better.
