How do I read the patient leaflet for my medicine?
Every medicine you receive comes with its patient leaflet, included in the parcel by the pharmacy. Alongside it, your doctor adds personal usage instructions. Reading both before you start tells you how to use your treatment safely.
What the leaflet covers
- What the medicine is for, and how to take it.
- Possible side effects and what to do about them.
- Known interactions and warnings.
- How to store it.
Your doctor’s instructions
The personal usage instructions from your doctor are tailored to you, so follow these together with the leaflet. If anything is unclear, ask a doctor before you start.
