Make this list easily available to everyone who cares for you (family members, home care providers, friends and co-workers) so they can let the doctor know if they’ve seen any changes in your behavior while taking one of your medicines.
Request a prescription to refill medications that you’ve run out of or don’t need any more. If possible, get the full (usual) dosage prescribed for you since this will make it easier to control your medication needs in the long-term. If you need a lower dose, ask for assistance with the dosage or bring in a list of the current dosages given to you and ask your doctor to reduce the dose.”
