About us
Miremedi.org was developed to provide information about medicines to our community in simple and understandable manner. On Miremedi platform, you will find animated videos (KIJKSLUITERS) offering information in Papiamento and Papiamentu about medications and medical conditions.
These medication videos provide information about:
- the medication,
- the correct way to use it,
- possible side effects,
- and other important aspects.
This information is crucial for the proper use of medications.
What is the proper use of medication?
Take your medication exactly as prescribed, not more or less.
Take the medicine at the correct time, for example, in the morning, before meals, or every 8 hours.
Swallow, chew, inhale, or inject your medication as intended. Some medicines should not be split, divided or chewed.
Do not stop early, even if you feel better (e.g., during an antibiotic course), unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Some medicines need to be stored in a specific way, for example, in the fridge or in the dark.
Be careful with alcohol, certain foods (like grapefruit), or other medications that could affect the effectiveness of your medicine’s medicine’s.
Ask questions if the information about your medicine or
possible side effects is unclear.
Why is the proper use of medicine important?
1. It prevents complications from a disease.
2. It prevents the disease from returning or worsening.
3. It helps your body recover faster.
