• Ask about the side effects of the medicines you are on.

• Use a pill organiser to avoid confusion.

• Read medicine labels in good light and follow the instructions carefully.

• Do not take anyone else’s prescribed medicine.

• Do not use out of date medicines. Return them to your pharmacist for safe disposal.
