During the sacred month of Ramadan, Muslims globally partake in fasting from dawn to sunset, abstaining from both food and drink. For those managing chronic conditions and relying on medications, addressing the unique challenges posed by fasting becomes
imperative.
A key requirement is to raise awareness among healthcare providers and patients regarding the precise timing and necessary dosage adjustments of medications during this period. Comprehensive guidance on maintaining the effectiveness and safety of treatment
regimens is crucial, ensuring that patients can adhere to fasting practices without compromising their health.
Healthcare professionals play a pivotal role in educating patients about medication adherence, potential side effects, and strategies to effectively manage their health during Ramadan. This knowledge is essential for promoting overall well-being,
enabling individuals to fulfill their religious obligations while maintaining optimal health.
