Ramadan is an important religious period in the Islamic calendar that requires healthy adults to fast during daylight hours. Medicines usually work best when the level of medicine within the body (brain and blood) is kept at steady levels. If the medicine levels get too low, the medicine may not work. If they get too high, this can make side effects worse. The body can most easily do this when the medicine is taken at regular, evenly spaced times during the day. When Ramadan occurs in summer, the long hours of daylight may interfere with you taking your medicines, especially if you take them two, three or four times a day.
