NPS Australia is urging consumers
to consult with their pharmacist
about eyesight problems in its latest
issue of Medicines Talk.
The article canvasses tips for
identifying and storing eyesight
medications, as well as sourcing
medicine and eyesight information.
In terms of avoiding medicine mix
ups, the NPS advises consumers to
ask their pharmacist to always
dispense the same brand of
medicine, so that the shape and
packaging never varies.
Consumers who have difficulty
reading, are also advised to have
their pharmacist print out their
medicine information leaflet in a
larger font.
The NPS also advises consumers
with reading issues to consider
ordering weekly blister pack
medication organisers from their
pharmacist.
