What should I know about fasting and my medication schedule?

If you're on medication, fasting during Ramadan requires careful planning. It's essential to consult your GP or healthcare provider to adjust your medication schedule. Some medications might need to be taken with food, while others may remain effective if taken outside of fasting hours. For example, long-acting medications can be taken at Suhoor (pre-dawn meal) and Iftar (meal to break the fast) to ensure that they work throughout the day. Make sure to communicate any health concerns with your doctor, and don’t hesitate to seek guidance on how to manage your medications safely during Ramadan.
