Take your pills

• Do not stop your medications for any reason, and call the office if at 775-982-7867 you are feeling unwell.
• If you cannot afford your medications, talk to your doctor, nurse or call the Heart Failure Program at 775-982-7867.
Don’ t run out of pills.
• Make sure you do not run out of pills. Monitor how many refills you have left and get your pills from the same pharmacy every time to prevent medication errors.
