Making Medicine Work for You

November 4, 2021

For some people, taking medicine is a regular part of their routine. How do you know if a medicine is the right fit for you?

Dr. Mary Ciccarelli explains how it might take time to find the right approach, and sometimes different types of medicines (like pills versus liquids) work better for different people. Working with your doctor and feeling informed is a great way to take charge of your health.

Dr. Ciccarelli is a professor of clinical medicine-pediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine, specializing in primary care and care coordination for persons with disabilities.
