How to take your medicine safely and correctly — for better healing.
1. Follow Instructions Carefully
Take your medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor or pharmacist.
(Latela ditaelo ka kelotlhoko.)
Skipping doses or taking too much can slow your recovery or cause side effects.
2. Read the Label
Always check the label before use — know the dosage, when to take it, and whether to take it with food or not.
(Tlhokomela nako ya go e dirisa le gore o e je ka dijo kgotsa nnyaa.)
3. Ask If You’re Not Sure
If you don’t understand something, ask. It’s okay to say “Ga ke tlhaloganye.”
Your pharmacist is here to help you stay safe.
4. Take It On Time
Try to take your medication at the same time every day.
(Go tsenya ka nako e e tshwanang go thusa gore kalafi e bereke sentle.)
Use a reminder or set an alarm if needed.
5. Don’t Mix Medications Without Advice
Some medicines can react badly with others. Always tell the pharmacist what else you’re taking.
(Tsweetswee botsa pele o kopanya meriana.)
6. Keep Medicine Away from Children
Store your medication in a safe, dry place where children can’t reach it.
(Boloka kalafi mo lefelong le le sireletsegileng.)
7. Do Not Share Medication
Even if someone has the same symptoms, every body is different.
(O seka wa abelana kalafi — e kgethegile mo go wena.)
8. Finish the Course
If told to complete the medication, do so — even if you feel better.
(Wetsa kalafi jaaka e neilwe.)
Stopping early could cause the illness to come back stronger.
When to Come Back:
- When your medication runs out
- If you feel new side effects
- If your doctor changes your prescription
- For chronic condition refills
