It is important to take prescription and over the counter (OTC) medications as instructed by your prescriber or pharmacist. The medication bottle will have instructions for each medication including when to take it, how many pills to take, and how many times it should be taken. The bottle may also tell you if the medication needs to be taken with food. Talk with your pharmacist if you have any questions about your medications.
