Overdoses can hurt your health and your finances -- and use unnecessary time. Understanding how overdosing occurs, can help minimize it.

With drugs you take on an ongoing basis, look for the best dose for you by doing the following:

Step 1: Let your health care provider or pharmacist know your concern about overmedication.

Step 2: Ask whether the drug comes in the form of a patch. Patches allow for the use of lower doses.

Step 3: Ask your health care provider if he or she is agreeable to testing a lower dose under his or her supervision. 

Put overdose cautions on the back burner in acute, emergency or dangerous situations.

Report all unexpected adverse reactions to a drug immediately.
