Inasmuch as we try to refrain from excessive use of medication, it is almost impossible to completely avoid their use.
To limit the damage we get from them, there are some steps that we could follow. These include;
🔰 Avoid alcohol when taking medication
🔰 Take medications with a lot of water, unless otherwise stated.
🔰 Unless otherwise stated, take medications within an hour of meals.
🔰 Do not chew medications that are meant to be swallowed. Do not open capsules before swallowing
🔰 Respect dosage and frequency of medication. Do not take more medication or take it more often than prescribed.
🔰 Always inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are already taking before a prescription is made. This involves traditional medicine. Some medications become more toxic or less efficient when they combine with others.
🔰 Take medications for the entire period of prescription even if you feel better.
🔰 Limit the use of painkillers and other medications to a minimum.
