Prepare a safety conversation.
Keep a written list of all prescription medicines, supplements and relevant allergies. Ask who to contact during normal hours and what to do outside those hours. Do not use a website enquiry channel for urgent medical concerns.
When reporting a concern, keep the packaging and note the product name, batch number, date and what happened. Share these with your treating professional so they can advise on the next step and any appropriate safety report.
