Tips for understanding your prescription

At the doctor's office

Before your doctor prescribes a medication, let him or her know what else you are taking. Bring a list of your current medications. This should include vitamins, herbal supplements and any over-the-counter drugs

When you receive a prescription, ask your doctor these questions:

What is the medication prescribed?

W Why am I taking it?

Do I take it with or without food?

How often do I take it?

What time of day do I take it?

How long do I have to take it?

What should I do if I miss a dose or take too much?

What are the potential side effects?

Do not pressure your doctor for medications. For example, if you have a viral infection, don't ask for antibiotics; they cannot treat viruses.
