Always Remember a Few
Simple Rules...
- Always keep medicines out of reach of children.
- Never exceed the dosage on the packet unless advised otherwise
by your Doctor.
- Keep a simple first aid box in the house to cope with minor
emergencies.
- Ask your chemist for over the counter advice. It is free, you
don't need an appointment, and a lot of the medicines can be
bought for less than the prescription charge.
- Always tell your chemist of any medicines you are already
taking. |
