MUSLIM patients fasting during Ramadan can get help to manage their medicines from chemists in West Yorkshire.
The Co-operative Pharmacy is urging Muslim patients on regular prescribed medication to speak to their pharmacist.
Adrian Price, practice manager, said: "During Ramadan many patients change the times they take their medicines, or even the number of doses each day. Spending a few minutes with a pharmacist can identify potential problems and possible solutions."
Checks are available in branches in Batley, Heckmondwike, Keighley, Ravensthorpe and Milnsbridge.
