The process

 * Find the datasheet for the medication described on your medical screening form on the Medsafe database
 * Determine the primary actions of the medication from the relevant datasheet

 * Look these actions up in your textbook (Premkumar, 2000).
 * Consider how the description of the effects of the medication will interact with the effects of your massage.
