If your doctor says medicine can help you, give your treatment a chance to succeed.


Know Why You’re Taking It


If you know how your medicine works, you’ll know why it’s important not to miss a dose. Ask your doctor:


What is the name of my medicine? How and when do I take it? How does it work? When will it start working?


Is there anything I need to avoid when taking it (food, drinks, supplements, medicines)?


What are the possible side effects, and what should I do if I have them?


Be sure to tell your doctor about other prescription drugs or over-the-counter medicines or supplements you’re taking. Ask if they are safe to take together.
