Medication Questions After Discharge

Before you go home, ask your doctor or pharmacist how to use your medicines safely.

FOR PATIENTS & CAREGIVERS

A simple starting checklist

Request an up-to-date medicine list before leaving the hospital or clinic
Ask why you take each medicine and whether any medicine has changed
Ask how much to take, when to take it, for how long and what to do if you miss a dose
Ask how to store and take your medicines, including whether to take them with food
Ask about side effects, danger signs and when to get urgent medical help
Check whether any consumables or support products are needed, such as syringes, dressings, nutritional products or monitoring items
Know when to get more medicine so you do not run out
Keep the contact details of the prescribing doctor, ward or pharmacist for follow-up questions

We can explain the products we offer. Always follow your doctor’s advice about medical care.
