Patient Education and Health Literacy
(Patient is the person taking the medication, education is how you get information, health is your body’s well-being, and literacy is ability to read and write)
We provide easy-to-read and simple-to-understand medication and prescription drug information. If you are are currently taking or thinking about taking medication for a disease, we can provide true safety information for you.
When you take a prescription medication, do you know exactly what you’re taking and the bad things that can happen to your body? Doctors will tell you that your medication plays an important role in managing disease and they will tell you that the medication can cure (completely get rid of) your disease. But is this true? Do you know all of the bad things that can happen to your body? Do you know the risk of death, suicide, and cancer for your drug or medication?
We help you truly understand your medication or prescription drugs. We help you take the time to learn about what your doctor is telling you to take to treat your disease. Asking your doctor or pharmacist to help you understand your prescriptions can be hard because they use big fancy words and long sentences. However, we use a language that is easily understood by all. We remove words that are hard to understand that your doctors might use and give you true medication safety information in an easy-to-read report.
