Medications
Sometimes, you need to take medications to be healthy or stay healthy.
Sometimes, medications are called medicine.
It is important to know the name(s) of the medication(s) you take.
You also should also know if your medication(s) is a pill that you need to swallow, if it is a liquid that you drink, or if you get the medicine as a shot.
Some medications need to be given as a lotion or cream that you put on your skin.
