Examine the medicine itself before taking it. Check for capsules or tablets that differ from the others that are enclosed. Never take medicine in the dark. Read the label and examine the medicine at every dose. When buying or taking nonprescription medicine, read the label - including warnings.
Symptoms sometimes disappear before the condition has totally cleared up.
If you stop taking the medicine too soon, your recovery may take longer. Do not take more medicine than prescribed. Take medicines at the proper time. In some cases, medicines should be taken either before, after or during meals. Check with your doctor or pharmacist.
