@pharmacist.anum: Please remember this is general educational advice only and you should always speak with your GP/Pharmacist first to understand what medications you should or should not be taking during periods of sickness Sick Day Rules If you have vomiting, diarrhoea or fever and can't keep fluids down, you may need to temporarily stop these meds to protect your kidneys I like to use the acronym SADMAN to remember the medications that need to be held: S- SGLT2 inhibitors (e.g. dapagliflozin, empagliflozin) A - ACE inhibitors (e.g. ramipril, lisinopril) D - Diuretics (water tablets e.g. furosemide) M - Metformin A - ARBs (e.g. losartan, candesartan) N - NSAIDs (e.g. ibuprofen, naproxen) Restart when eating & drinking normally again (usually after 24-48 hrs) Don't stop insulin or essential meds without advice Always Ask your pharmacist or GP if unsure!

Is this not in the information packet? This should be common knowledge!

So….surely that means that people who’ve been on those meds for years but not told of this, have been neglected and actually put at risk by their GP? 🤔
