10 Tips for Safe Medications Use

Do you see more than one doctor? All of your doctors need to know about all the medications you take. That includes dentists, ophthalmologists, and others. If you take multiple medications, a good way to handle this is to keep a list of your medications on your computer. Keep it up-to-date at all times, and take it with you whenever you visit a doctor. This also exemplifies why it's important to facilitate your doctors working with you as a team. Don't let them put you in the middle, having to ask one doctor a question for him or her unless it's a simple question. Instead, as your doctors to send each other regular reports and consult with each other if they have questions.
