Sick Day Rules

You may be prescribed one or more medicines that you should temporarily stop if you suffer from vomiting, diarrhoea or fever.

They can put you at higher risk of becoming more seriously unwell.

When you are unwell with any of the following:

  • Vomiting or diarrhoea (unless only minor)
  • Fevers, sweats and shaking (unless only minor)

Then STOP taking the medicines listed below.

Restart when you are well (after 24 to 48 hours of eating and drinking normally)

If you are in any doubt, or if your symptoms do not settle after 48 hours, please contact the surgery for advice about these medicines from the doctor.

The list below is not exhaustive as you may also be prescribed medicines that were initiated by a specialist that suppress your immune system (immunosuppressants).
