Most people with chronic conditions have treatments that include medications, and yet 50% of Canadians do not take their medications as prescribed. Here are some tips to get the most benefit from your medications!<\/h3>\n

1) If you have medication questions or concerns, discuss these with your pharmacist! They are here to help and there is no such thing as a bad, silly or trivial question \u2013 after all, this is your health we\u2019re talking about!<\/h3>\n

2) Understand your medications better. The more you understand about your medications, the more empowered you will be about your treatments. Here\u2019s a chart with 5 Questions to Ask About Your Medications<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/h3>\n

3) Trust your gut, but don\u2019t abandon your resources! You may feel that a medication isn\u2019t right for you, or that it is no longer useful. Before you simply stop taking it, please discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist. Some medications are not meant to be stopped \u201ccold turkey\u201d, and your specific situation may still require some sort of treatment. Your healthcare provider can help you with safe transitions and treatment alternatives.<\/h3>\n
