In our busy society we often go to the doctor, get a prescription and never ask questions about the new medication. When your doctor gives you a prescription, be wise and ask questions. If you forget to ask the doctor, ask your pharmacist as he or she should be able to answer your questions. Below are a few questions you might need answers to:
- The name of the medication and is there a generic that will work just as well.
- How, when and for how long should you take it?
- What to do if you miss a dose?
- Will your sleep, appetite or energy be affected?
- Should certain things, such as sun, certain foods, alcohol, caffeine, etc, be avoided?
- Will it interact with any other meds or supplements you are taking?
