Prepare before you go to the doctor's office. Here are some questions you can ask your doctor or pharmacist about the medicines you take.

Questions to Ask My Doctor or Pharmacist

• What is the name of the medicine and how will it help me?

• How and when do I take the medicine, and for how long?

• When and how do I refill my prescription?

• What do I do if I miss a dose?

• Will it cause problems with the other medicines I take (including over-the-counter medicines)?

• When should the medicine start to work?

• What are the possible side effects? What should I do if they occur?
