Keeping a list of all medications (including prescription, over the counter, herbal alternative medicines and supplements)
Using medication as directed on the label
Discontinuing expired medications
Communicating with your pharmacists and health care professionals regarding ALL medications used
Having your pharmacist review for counteracting medications
