About Course
If you’ve ever stood in front of a cabinet full of bottles and wondered what each one is for, you’re in the right place. I’m Grace, a pharmacist, and this starter guide is about helping you feel steady and organized with the medicines in your home, whether they’re yours or a loved one’s.
Across seven short lessons, we’ll build one complete medication list that includes over-the-counter products, vitamins and supplements. We’ll practice reading prescription labels and the FDA Drug Facts label, sort common myths from facts about interactions and side effects, and set up a simple routine with pill organizers and refill reminders. A fictional caregiver story walks through the hospital-to-home transition, and we’ll cover safe storage, take-back and disposal, when to call Poison Help (1-800-222-1222) or 911, and how to report a side effect to the FDA’s MedWatch.
You’ll get three printable worksheets: a medication list, a weekly dose and refill tracker, and a questions-and-plan page for your pharmacist. Come as you are. There’s no test, and you’re not behind.
