Quick safety tips that actually help

Always check interactions: use a reliable interaction checker or ask your pharmacist before adding new meds or supplements. Keep a running list of your prescriptions and share it at every appointment.

Watch for early warning signs: new joint pain, unusual swelling, sudden mood changes, or breathing problems deserve prompt attention. Don’t wait for a scheduled visit if symptoms are severe.

Follow dosing exactly: changing dose or stopping early can cause treatment failure or rebound issues. If cost or side effects are a problem, talk to your prescriber about alternatives rather than guessing.
