Importance of medication
On discharge form hospital you will be given a discharge letter that includes what has happened to you and a list of your medications. A nurse should explain to you the amounts and times you are to take your medication, this is most important, if the explanation is not given or you do not understand, you must ask. NEVER TAKE MEDICATION PRESCRIBED FOR SOMEONE ELSE. If you have a cold or flu check with your local pharmacist what you can take as some remedies can affect your medication
