When you pick up your prescription, at a minimum, ask…
What is this drug? What does it do?
Why am I taking it? What are possible side effects? and How should I take it?
Not only does this help you to use the drug correctly, it’s also a good way to double-check that you’re getting the right drug.
Half the prescriptions taken in the U.S. each year are used improperly, and 96 percent of patients nationwide don’t ask questions about how to use their medications.
