A member asked:

Sometimes i forget my medications amlodopine (for hypertension) & carbamazepine (for temporal lobe epilepsy). can i go without them like this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Medications: Medicines are tested for effectiveness usually with one primary dosage methodology. If you want the outcome associated with the proof of effectiveness; you need to take the medication as it is approved and prescribed. If you don't take them as prescribed, your chances of the desired outcome are impaired.
