Medicine pack check sheet

Source-linked reading points

• 100 mg is the labelled amount per capsule; 25 mg/5 mL and 50 mg/5 mL are concentrations of two different liquid products. Do not self-convert, combine, substitute or assemble a course from these numbers.
• The label warns about photosensitivity, oesophageal irritation or ulceration, severe skin reactions, intracranial hypertension and C. difficile-associated diarrhoea. Severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, breathing difficulty, swelling of the face/lips/tongue/throat, widespread rash or blisters, vision change, severe headache, or persistent/bloody diarrhoea require prompt local emergency or medical support.
• The capsule/tablet label calls for adequate fluid to reduce oesophageal irritation and ulceration. If swallowing is difficult, the actual product differs or instructions are unclear, ask a pharmacist or prescriber to check the exact label first; do not open a capsule or switch to a historical liquid product yourself.
• Antacids, iron/calcium/magnesium/aluminium products, other prescriptions and supplements belong on the complete medicine list for pharmacist review. The site does not generate co-use spacing from a name list and does not replace the prescription.
