Accordingly, it is critical to properly treat the disease to prevent subsequent complications. You should never stop an ongoing treatment without discussing it with your pharmacist.

Your pharmacist can adjust the dose of your medicine based on its effectiveness or side effects. If needed, your pharmacist will obtain the treatment objectives, limits and contraindications from the professional responsible for the follow-up of your condition.
