Emily Klopper, pharmacist, emphasises that pharmacists in particular are there to educate people about medicines.
Be proactive about it. Be proactive and speak to your pharmacist or GP about it. And if you need assistance or you are confused, the education is there and we're more than happy to provide it. That's what we're trained in and that's what we like to do. So don't be apprehensive about it. You know, you can be proactive and gain control over what you're actually taking, which will improve your understanding of what it's doing to help you.
The Living with multiple medicines project was developed in
collaboration with Healthtalk Australia.
