Default Rxisk.org: 12 questions to ask your Doc before starting any drug

https://www.rxisk.org/Default.aspx

QUESTIONS FOR PATIENTS
How does this drug work, how much improvement can I expect, and how soon?

If I don’t take this drug now, and instead wait for a while, what will happen?

What are the most likely side effects?

Are there any rare serious side effects?

Are there any permanent problems this drug can cause?

If this is a new drug, why can’t I take an older drug?

Can I try a lower dose?

What date will we review my use/dose of this drug?

Are there problems stopping the drug or any special considerations on stopping or changing dose that I should watch for?

Are there any potential interactions with food, my other medical conditions, or my current medications?

Might this drug affect my weight/sleep/ hair/ skin/ nails/, mood/ sex life and/or relationships, and if so, how?

Do I need to stop this drug before I get pregnant?
