Patient Care
Dedicate an Area at Home
If
you're receiving your medications and supplies at home, you
need a place to store them. Choose a place with a constant
room temperature, as most medications and supplies must be
protected from excessive heat, cold, light, humidity and dampness.
Make sure, too, that children and pets cannot reach that area.
It should be separate from other household items and easy
to keep clean.
As
each shipment arrives, place the new medication behind your
existing supply so you use the "oldest" first. Be
sure to check the date of your medication before you use each
dose - and never use outdated or expired products. Instead,
set them aside and contact your personal care specialist for
directions on how to dispose of these items. <back to top>
Check
Your Stock
Your
delivery schedule will depend on the length of your therapy,
the quantity of supplies you need and your available storage
space. Your personal care specialist will contact you before
each scheduled delivery just to review the medications and
supplies you have on hand. If you see you're going to run
short, call us to adjust your next order quantity and/or delivery
date. Emergency deliveries can be arranged if you're running
dangerously low.
Check
the box for any signs of possible damage - holes, dents, watermarks,
rips, etc. Remember, it is your responsibility to notify RX
Biotech within one business day of delivery if any part of
your shipment is missing, lost, stolen or damaged. <back to top>
Take
as Directed
The
most important thing you can do to ensure your treatment is
both safe and effective is to follow all instructions. Know
if your medication is to be taken with food or on an empty
stomach. Are there any foods, drinks or other medications
to avoid during this treatment? Take note of any side effects
or new symptoms and let your doctor know. <back to top>
Dispose
of "Sharps" and Materials
Very
specific government regulations address disposal of used medical
supplies. Make sure you obtain a "sharps" puncture-resistant
container, where you'll put all used needles, razor blades,
syringes or broken glass (from a medication bottle, for example).
NEVER put any "sharps" items into the household
trash. And never recycle any medical supplies. Contact RX Biotech, your
physician or local waste management company for information
on how to dispose of your "sharps" container.
