Getting a Prescription Quick Tips

Questions to Ask When You are Prescribed a New Medication What is the name of the medicine? What is it supposed to do? Is it okay to substitute a less- expensive generic medicine? What is the dose? Are there possible side effects? How many refills do I get?

More Questions… What should I do If I miss a dose? What should I do if I accidentally take more than the recommended dose? Is there any written information I can take home with me?

Give the Doctor this information when he provides a new medication: Names of all your medications Any concerns you have If you are allergic to any medication If you have any side effects from a medication that has been prescribed to you

Follow-Up Appointment Questions Any problems you are having Any side effects Any new prescriptions you have started taking How you are feeling since you have started the medication Source: Quick Tips – When Getting a Prescription.
