Important Clinical Notes
Antibiotics (Amoxicillin, Ciprofloxacin, Metronidazole, Cefixime, etc.): Always complete the full course to prevent antibiotic resistance.
NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Diclofenac): Avoid on empty stomach; caution in peptic ulcer disease, renal impairment, cardiovascular disease.
Corticosteroid creams (Clobetasol): Do not use on face; limit duration of use to prevent skin atrophy.
Benzodiazepines (Lorazepam, Clonazepam): Risk of dependence; use minimum effective dose and duration.
Antiepileptics (Phenytoin, Valproate, Carbamazepine, Phenobarbitone): Do not stop abruptly - taper under medical supervision.
Antihypertensives (Losartan, Telmisartan): Monitor renal function and potassium, especially in diabetics.
Psychiatric medications (Olanzapine, Imipramine, Escitalopram): May take 2-4 weeks for full therapeutic effect; do not stop suddenly.
