‘Suddenly stopping some medicines can have side effects or worsen your health condition. If you’re having problems with your medication, talk to your GP or GP pharmacist or Community pharmacist first before making any changes.

Your community pharmacist can help you with:

  • what will happen if you don’t take your medication
  • what are the benefits of certain medications
  • any side effects or risks
  • how long you will need to take the medication for
  • anything you can do to help yourself.

The questions above are especially helpful to ask before you start taking a medication.’

Please advise your pharmacist if you are taking over the counter products or herbal remedies.
