I have a question about this. My patients have very low health literacy. In English, I say “This medicine is for (noun)” and that’s about it. Like, “You take Metformin for diabetes. You take levothyroxin for your thyroid.” Can I do this in Spanish too? I do say to people “Este medicamento es para la tiroides.” Does that make sense in Spanish? “Metformin es para la diabetes.”
Hey Heather, yes you can certainly do that – it’s perfect.
Thanks!
