MED-SAFE TIPS

FOR TRAVEL

CARRY A LIST OF YOUR CURRENT MEDICATIONS, SUPPLEMENTS AND ALLERGIES WITH YOU IN YOUR WALLET. STOP IN FOR YOUR FREE WALLET SIZE "MEDICATION HISTORY" CARD.

IF YOU NEED TO VISIT A PHYSICIAN, DENTIST OR THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHILE AWAY FROM HOME, YOUR MEDICATION AND ALLERGY LIST WILL BE HELPFUL.

WHEN OUTSIDE, DON'T FORGET THE SUNSCREEN. CHILDREN ARE ESPECIALLY SENSITIVE; MAKE SURE THEY'RE ADEQUATELY PROTECTED.

FOR HOME

BE SURE YOUR DOCTORS KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO AND THE SIDE EFFECTS YOU HAVE HAD TO MEDICATIONS.

NEARLY ALL MEDICATION ERRORS INVOLVE TAKING THE WRONG DRUG OR THE WRONG DOSE. BE CERTAIN YOU ASK YOUR PHARMACIST "WHAT IS THIS MEDICATION FOR AND HOW SHOULD I TAKE IT?" BE SURE AND BE SAFE !! BE WELL AND WELL INFORMED !!

ALWAYS KEEP MEDICATIONS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. EVEN THOUGH MOST PRESCRIPTION MEDICINES COME IN CHILD-RESISTANT CONTAINERS, IT DOES NOT MEAN A CHILD CANNOT GET INTO IT.

IF A DRUG IS NOT DOING WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE DOING FOR YOU, CHECK WITH YOUR DR. YOU MAY NEED A CHANGE IN MEDICATION OR DOSAGE.
