Preparing for your visit
The physicians and staff of the AM&G Hospital request that clients bring all current medications to the hospital for Emergency Room visits, pre-operative clinics and planned admissions. To provide the best care possible the healthcare team must know about all medications taken. This includes drugs taken with a doctor's prescription. It also includes other medicines purchased without a prescription such as:
- food suppplements
- herbs and herbal remedies
- vitamins
- other over the counter or non-prescription medicine
On occasion, it may be necessary for clients to continue to use their own medication supply while in hospital. Examples include birth control tablets, Didrocal ® Kits, nasal sprays, eye drops, inhaled medications, vitamin and herbal products, and nicotine replacement therapy that are ordered to continue while in hospital.
