Medication errors are a leading cause of preventable harm in healthcare. At MEMBH Pharmacy, patient safety is our top priority.

10 Medication Safety Tips

  1. Keep an updated medication list including all prescriptions, OTC drugs, vitamins, and supplements.
  2. Know your medications — what each is for, how to take it, potential side effects.
  3. Follow dosage instructions exactly — never double-dose to make up for a missed one.
  4. Check expiration dates — expired medications may lose effectiveness or become harmful.
  5. Store medications correctly — most in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
  6. Watch for interactions — some medications interact with foods, alcohol, or other drugs.
  7. Don't share medications — prescriptions are tailored to your specific condition.
  8. Complete the full course — especially antibiotics to prevent resistance.
  9. Report side effects — contact MEMBH immediately for unexpected reactions.
  10. Ask questions — our pharmacists are medication experts here to help.
