When taken correctly, medications improve our lives in a variety of ways. April 1–7 is Medication Safety Week and a good time to:
• Make a list of any medications you’re on, so you know when and how to take them.
• Be aware of how your medications interact with food or other medications.
• Read labels to ensure you are taking medications as prescribed and know of the benefits and potential side effects.
• Properly store medications in a cool, dry location.
• Safely dispose of expired medications.
And be sure to talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about any medications you’re taking.
