Tips About
Medications
It is important for you to tell
your doctor what medications you are taking, including those
prescribed by other doctors and nonprescription vitamins,
minerals and herbs. Do not assume that your doctor will
remember all of the medications you are taking, even if he
or she prescribed them.
If possible,
you should bring all of your medications with you to the
appointment.
If you can't or don't want
to take your medications to the appointment, then make a
list of them, indicating the name, dosage, and how you take
them (for example: Aspirin; two, 250 mg tablets; three times
a day with food). If you would like a form to record your
medications, please click here.
