11 Questions to Ask Your Pharmacist (4793 hits)


Your pharmacist can be an important member of your health care team. He or she is a knowledgeable resource on many aspects of medicine therapy and can provide valuable advice regarding such things as timing your medications to work better, common side effects, and more. So take the time to discuss any concerns you may have. Here are 11 questions to help get the conversation started.
1.What is the dosage of the medicine? Are there other special dosing instructions I should be aware of?
2.Can this medicine be taken with the other prescription and nonprescription medicines I’m taking?
3.Should this medicine be taken with or without food? Are there any foods or drinks to stay away from when taking this medicine?
4.Can this medicine be chewed, crushed, or dissolved to make it easier to swallow?
5.What should I do if I inadvertently take too much of this medicine or miss a dose?
6.What side effects should I be aware of?
7.Can I keep up with my usual activities (such as driving) and routine while taking this medicine?
8.Does this pharmacy provide special services such as home delivery?
9.How long do I need to take this medication? Can I stop taking it if I feel better?
10.Does the pharmacy have an automatic prescription-refill service?
