Always fill your prescriptions at one pharmacy. The pharmacy's computer system checks for interactions with other medications you are taking. This is very important to prevent adverse reactions.
Always take the dosage as prescribed. Do not scrimp to make the medication last longer.
Do not stop taking medications because you feel better. Finish the treatment plan completely.
Call your doctor or 911 immediately if you experience any potential allergic reaction.
