I realized that I could never follow the guidelines of taking medicine according to the prescription, if doctors gives me or instructs me to take the medicine for one week, after 1-2 days I used to forget to continue after being partially relieved from the problem. what about you people?

Yes I always read the instructions carefully before I begin taking any medicine and I always follow the instructions and keep taking it as prescribed. I think if you don't do this then you're less likely to get well properly.

Yeah. I do really follow the prescription. I am a graduate of a medical field course and we were taught of following prescriptions of any medication. I mean we really follow it strictly. And I am doing such at home too. I'm very particular with dosages, indications and side effects. Well, I think everyone should be cautious and should really follow the prescription for safety purposes.

hi tina, i never follow the instructions that prescriped, most are boring and had nothing to guide, and they are too long. i will not waste my time on reading those prescription that meaningless to me. but when i really do not know what to do, i would back to the prescription to find out the answer, such as i would search some information of a camera what i bought it recently.

Most of time i follow it. But sometimes i think that they are not strong enough so i often take a little more than prescription.
