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
- Sometimes it's difficult to determine the primary actions of the medication from the 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.
