Medication Adherence

I’m not feeling better … so can I stop my medication?
Every body is unique and so is every medicine. When a new drug is introduced, the body needs time to adjust to it. When dispensing your medicine, your pharmacist will advise you on how to take it, common side effects, and how you can expect to feel. Depending on what condition is being treated, medicines can take hours to days to weeks to show optimal results. If you think you are experiencing a side effect to a drug or just not feeling better yet, it is always best to contact your health professional before stopping it. Call your pharmacist and seek their advice on what is best for you and your situation.
