Understanding your child's medications
Because you are responsible for giving your child their medicine, it is very important that you talk to your pharmacist, doctor, or nurse to completely understand the following points.
- Name of each medicine and why your child needs it
- When to take each medicine
- How to take each medicine
- How long your child will be on each medicine
- Possible side-effects of each medicine
- What to do if a dose of medication is missed by accident
- How and when to order medications to make sure you do not miss any doses. Some of your medications may only be available at a specialized pharmacy and not at your corner drug store
