And now, time for a Coughy Break!


Welcome back to Coughy Break!


Sick day rules. Sounds unusual, sounds like it should be common sense, but what are they really and why are they important?


In this episode Dr Geoff Hamp and Dr Sam McGinley discuss sick day rules.


Dr Geoff and Dr Sam look at which medications you can safely pause if you are sick, why you need to pause them, and when to restart them again. And importantly, which medicines you really should not be stopping.


If you have any suggestions for topics you would like covered, any comments or ideas, or even just want to say hello then email us at the show at [email protected]


Sit back, and enjoy a Coughy Break!
