Make sure you get clear answers to these questions before you take any
medications.
What is the name of the medication
and what will it do?
When should I take it and for how long?
Are there side effects?
Is there anything I should avoid while
taking it? (Examples: alcohol, sunlight, etc.) Should I take it with meals?
Is there a generic equivalent?
Will it interfere with other medicines I am
taking?
Should I stop taking it if I feel better?
