Pharmacists are valuable sources of medication information. You do not need to know the right medical terms to start a useful conversation.
Questions you can keep handy
What is this medication for? How should I use it? What side effects or warning signs should I know about? Could it interact with anything else I take? What should I do if I have questions after I leave?
Write down what matters
If you receive a lot of information, ask if you can take notes or receive written instructions. It is okay to request an explanation a second time.
Care is a conversation
Your healthcare team can best support you when you share your concerns and explain anything that makes following instructions difficult.
