This article collects several questions that Dostlukly Zähmet pharmacy specialists receive from customers.

What to look for when buying medications?

Be sure to check the expiration date of the medicine and the condition of the packaging. The packaging must not be damaged, and the instructions must be available.

What should you take with your medications?

The best choice for drinking most medications is clean, still water at room temperature. The volume of water must be at least 100 ml. Warm water promotes rapid and proper dissolution of the medicine in the stomach.

What should you not take with your medications?

Milk: only suitable for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Mineral water: iron, calcium and other substances in it can block the absorption of many components of the medicine.

Juices: the high acidity of juices prevents the absorption of hormonal and cardiovascular drugs into the blood.

Tea and coffee: tannins, caffeine and other substances in tea and coffee can form insoluble compounds with antispasmodics, antitussives and ophthalmic agents.

Alcohol: Combining alcohol with medications can be dangerous and lead to poisoning.

Is it worth reading the instructions for medications?

Yes, definitely! The instructions contain important information on how to take the medicine correctly, possible side effects, interactions with other medications and contraindications.

Do not ignore the instructions, even if you have taken this medicine before. The information in the instructions may be updated.

What is a generic, analogue or original?

An original drug is a drug that is the first to be developed and brought to market.

A generic is a medicine that has the same composition as the original, but is produced by a different pharmaceutical company. Generics are usually cheaper than brand-name drugs.

An analogue is a medicine that has a similar therapeutic effect as the original medicine, but may contain other active ingredients.

How and for how long should medications be stored after opening?

Store medications according to the manufacturer's instructions. Some medications need to be stored in the refrigerator, others at room temperature.

Do not use medications after the expiration date. And also keep them out of the reach of children.
