Example:

Es tan peligroso omitir los medicamentos que necesita como tomar aquellos que no son necesarios. Muchos pacientes no toman los
medicamentos según se les ha indicado porque no están de acuerdo, no entienden, no pueden pagar los fármacos o, simplemente,
porque no pueden seguir el plan de tratamiento. Además de eliminar los medicamentos innecesarios, estas pautas pueden ayudarlo
a
cumplir con un régimen de administración complicado:
•
Lleve un control escrito de las pastillas que toma, de la frecuencia con que las toma y de cualquier indicación especial. Actualice
su registro cada vez que cambien las recetas.
•
T
ome los medicamentos a la misma hora todos los días y
,
si es necesario, utilice calendarios, cronómetros o pastilleros que le
recuerden qué medicamento debe tomar y en qué momento.
•
Pregunte si puede tomar el medicamento una vez al día, una vez por semana o una vez por mes en lugar de varias veces por día.
•
Monitoree su enfermedad. Tomarse la presión arterial o hacerse la prueba de azúcar en sangre en su casa, por ejemplo, pueden
motivarlo para que tome su medicación.
•
Pregunte si hay versiones genéricas de la medicación que sean más económicas. Esto podría permitirle ahorrar dinero. 
•
Guarde los medicamentos en un lugar donde pueda verlos con facilidad pero no en el botiquín del baño, porque allí estarán
expuestos a la humedad y el calor, que los afecta.
•
Sepa qué hacer si omite una dosis o toma una de más sin darse cuenta.
•
Solicite nuevas recetas con tiempo para evitar huecos en la continuidad del tratamiento.
CÓMO CUMPLIR CON EL RÉGIMEN DE ADMINISTRACIÓN DE LOS FÁRMACOS QUE REALMENTE NECESITA
¿Es posible reducir o eliminar la
necesidad de un fármaco con otro
tipo de medidas?
Con frecuencia, tanto los médicos como
los pacientes se vuelcan a los medica
-
mentos recetados antes de dar una
oportunidad a los cambios en el estilo
de vida y a los tratamientos sin medica-
ción. Existe una tendencia a considerar
los medicamentos como la mejor
opción. P
ero, en muchos casos, no es
así. Los estudios han demostrado que
dedicar meramente de 10 a 15 m [1]
