Following your discharge medication plan

Follow the medicine plan in your discharge instructions. Do not stop or change a prescribed medicine, including blood-pressure medicine, without talking to your care team.

Most important

Ask before changing anything

Call your care team if you have side effects or questions about a medicine.

Important to know

  • This app does not tell you which medicines to take or change. Your own written instructions and care team decide.
Why

Some medicines, such as blood-pressure medicines, may be adjusted after birth by your care team.

What varies

Each person's medicines, doses and length of treatment are individual.

Questions to ask

  • Which medicines do I keep taking, and for how long?
  • What side effects should I call about?
  • Who adjusts my blood pressure medicine?
