Here are some helpful tips to manage and get the most from your NSAIDs: • Try to take your medication at the same time each day, and try not to miss a dose. • Know more about which side effects are considered serious enough to require immediate medical attention. • Do not adjust dosages without the input of a doctor and do not stop taking your medication because you are feeling better. Speak to a doctor first. • Use a days-of-the-week pill container or blister pack to organize your medications. This will help you notice when you’ve missed a dose. Transfer your medications to a portable pillbox when you’re eating out or travelling. Balancing Act: Lupus, Activity and Rest 61
