Three practical points

  1. Check the exact active ingredient, strength and instructions.
  2. Tell a pharmacist about other medicines, allergies and kidney or liver conditions.
  3. Ask how long self-care is appropriate and what symptoms require a review.

In the Philippines, contact your usual health center, pharmacist or appropriate clinician for individual advice. Service availability and fees vary; ask the provider directly.
