Discussing Your Medications:
What You Need to Know
Here are some tips to help you effectively talk with your doctor about medications:
Let your doctor know all medications you are taking. This includes any prescribed medications, over-the-counter medications, herbal or dietary supplements and vitamins.
When your doctor prescribes a new medication for you, make sure you get all of the information you need. How will the medication help you? What side effects can you expect? Should you avoid any foods or drinks while on the medication? Are there any drug interactions that may occur with other prescriptions you are taking?
Make sure you know when to take a new medication and how-on any empty stomach or with food? In the morning or evening? How often? Take notes on these instructions.
Find out how long it should take for the medication to start working and what you should expect when this happens.
Ask about what you should do if you develop any side effects. Do you stop the medication? Should you call the doctor? If so, how can you reach him or her if it is after office hours?
Your pharmacist is another great source of information on medications and over-the-counter products if you still have questions. He or she should be made aware of all your prescriptions in order to advise you properly about possible drug interactions, side effects, and instructions for use.
