Ask how fasting, anesthesia, contrast, the procedure, time-zone changes, and recovery affect every medicine; never stop, restart, substitute, or change a dose independently.

01

What should my medication list include?

Record brand and active-ingredient names, strength, dose, route, schedule, purpose, prescriber, last dose, allergies, and reactions. Include injections, inhalers, patches, eye drops, supplements, and herbal products.

02

Should I stop blood thinners, diabetes medicine, or supplements?

Do not decide alone. Instructions depend on the medicine, condition, procedure, anesthesia, fasting, organ function, and bleeding or clotting risk. Obtain patient-specific written instructions.

03

How should I handle time-zone changes?

Ask the prescriber for a written transition schedule before travel, especially for insulin, anticoagulants, seizure medicines, steroids, and other time-critical treatment.

04

What if medicine is lost or runs short in Korea?

Contact the clinic, insurer, or a licensed Korean provider or pharmacy with your prescription and ingredient list. Do not borrow medicine or use an uncertain substitute.
