BRING A COMPLETE MEDICINE LIST
Medicines and Supplements Before Aesthetic Treatment in Johor Bahru
Prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, supplements and active skincare can affect assessment, recovery or procedure timing. Tell the doctor what you use and do not stop prescribed treatment on your own.
This educational guide does not replace individual assessment or advice from the treating doctor.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Prepare useful details for a more individual discussion
A medicine list is useful only when it is specific. Include the product name, dose when known, how often you use it and why. Photographs of labels can help when you do not remember the spelling.
Prescriptions
Include regular medicines, recent short courses, injections, creams and specialist prescriptions.
Non-prescription products
List pain relief, antihistamines, sleep aids and other products bought without a prescription.
Supplements
Include vitamins, herbs, traditional products, sports supplements and wellness injections or drips.
Active skincare
Mention retinoids, exfoliating acids, bleaching products, acne treatment and recently changed routines.
YOUR CHECKLIST
Information to confirm before treatment day
Write the details down and bring records when available. If something changes after consultation, update the clinic before the procedure.
Prepare before the appointment
- Product or medicine name and dose when known
- How often and when it was last used
- Reason it is taken or applied
- Prescribing doctor or clinic when relevant
- Any previous reaction or side effect
- Recent changes, missed doses or planned courses
Questions for the doctor
- Does this information change my suitability?
- Should the treatment, area or timing change?
- Which risks are most relevant to me?
- Are there safer or simpler alternatives?
- What recovery and review should I plan?
- Which warning signs need prompt care?
A SAFE DECISION PATH
Assess first, decide second, document clearly
A treatment name alone is not a plan. The doctor should connect your concern and health information with the exact procedure, alternatives, expected limitations and follow-up.
PRACTICAL DETAILS
Apply the checklist to your actual situation
Do not stop alone
Aesthetic scheduling does not justify stopping prescribed medicine without advice from the appropriate clinician.
Include topical products
Creams and active skincare may matter for procedures performed on the same skin area.
Mention recent courses
Antibiotics, acne medicines, steroids and other recently completed treatments may still be relevant.
Keep the list current
Update it before every treatment course and bring it when attending either branch.
SINGAPORE TO JOHOR BAHRU

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Medicines and Supplements Before Aesthetic Treatment in Johor Bahru FAQs
Which medicines should I disclose before aesthetic treatment?

Do supplements count as medicines for the consultation?
They should still be listed. Some supplements may affect bruising, healing or interactions, depending on the procedure and person.

Photograph labels or bring the packaging, prescription list or pharmacy record if available.
