How can you learn more about the medicines you take?

To better understand the medicines you take, start by reading the information sheets that come with your prescriptions — these often highlight what the medicine is for, how to take it, and possible side effects. You can also ask your pharmacist, doctor, nurse, or diabetes educator for more details. Don’t hesitate to bring questions to your appointments — knowing what your medications do and how they work can help you take them more confidently and safely.
