Essential advice

Important things to know before starting any treatment

General guidance to help you use medicines safely. This is not a substitute for the advice of your pharmacist or doctor.

  • Travelling with your medicine

    Carry medicines in their original packaging with the dispensing label, plus a copy of your prescription or a covering letter. Some countries restrict opioids, benzodiazepines and other controlled drugs — check the embassy of your destination before flying. For controlled drugs, you may need a personal export licence if travelling for 3 months or more.

  • Driving and machinery

    Sedating medicines can affect your reaction time, judgement and ability to drive safely. It is illegal in the UK to drive while impaired by medicine, even if it has been prescribed. If in doubt, do not drive — speak to your pharmacist.

  • Alcohol and other medicines

    Avoid alcohol with sedating medicines (sleep aids, opioids, benzodiazepines, sedating antihistamines) — combined effects can be dangerous. Always tell the pharmacist about every medicine, supplement or herbal product you take.

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding

    Many medicines are not suitable in pregnancy or breastfeeding, or need extra caution. Always tell the pharmacist if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding before starting any new treatment.

  • When to seek urgent help

    Call 999 for severe breathing difficulty, chest pain, sudden confusion, severe allergic reaction, or if you suspect an overdose. Use NHS 111 for urgent but non-emergency advice. Samaritans (116 123) are available 24/7 if you are struggling emotionally.

  • Sleep hygiene & jet-lag basics

    Keep a consistent bed and wake time, even at weekends. Avoid caffeine after midday, dim screens an hour before bed, and use the bedroom only for sleep. For jet-lag, get bright morning light at the new destination and avoid napping after 4pm. Short-term sleep medicines work best alongside these habits, not instead of them.

Take the next step toward better sleep, less stress, and better pain support.
