Medication: Clear, practical info to help you use drugs safely

Medicines can fix problems fast — but they can also cause new ones if used wrong. This tag collects straightforward, usable articles about prescription drugs, antibiotics, supplements, and buying meds online. Expect real tips you can use, clear warnings about side effects and interactions, and simple advice for talking with your clinician or pharmacist.

Quick, practical tips for using medications

Read the label and the leaflet. Know the active ingredient, not just the brand name. If two products sound similar, compare ingredients — that stops accidental double-dosing.

Track side effects. Write down when a new symptom starts and which medicine you took. That makes conversations with your doctor faster and clearer.

Watch for interactions. Even supplements like glycine or herbal remedies can change how a prescription works. Ask your pharmacist if you’re starting or stopping anything.

Buying online? Pick pharmacies with clear contact info, verified reviews, and a prescription requirement for prescription-only drugs. Avoid sites that ship without asking for a prescription — that’s a red flag.

Missed a dose? Don’t double up unless the leaflet or your clinician says so. For many drugs, taking the next dose at the normal time is safer than trying to catch up.
