What is Your Best Medical Advice?

I'm sure we've all picked up some tips about various things over the years, so what's the best medical advice you have to offer?
Mine would be that when you are given any new medication - read the leaflet that comes with it and then do a search on the internet for the stuff they don't tell you.
And to also ask doctors about the possible side effects.
For instance for years I was prescribed Antibiotics for mild Acne but never told about the side effects on the digestive system.
Also for Acne I'd recommend people look into their Zinc intake .. I've found this to be a little miracle in a bottle.

check the nhs direct website to see if you can treat yourself at home before you wander off to the docs.
pharmacists know more than you think.
medication is not always the best course of action.
A visit to the docs always helps the confidence!
