Common Questions You Should Ask Your Pharmacist

Posted on June 21, 2022 by Louise Savoie

common-questions-you-should-ask-your-pharmacistWhen you get prescribed any new medication, it is essential that you understand the medicine that your doctor has prescribed for you. To make sure you have all the information you need, here are the common questions you should ask your pharmacy in California:

  • What is my medication’s name?
    Medications have two options: the generic and brand name. This information is important to know to make sure you have the right medicine, especially when you travel and there are changes in your medicine’s availability. A hospice pharmacy can give you information on both options to ensure there are no mix-ups in the medication you are prescribed.
  • What does my medication do?
    All medicines have intended effects and potential side effects. A retail pharmacy can explain how your medicine works and what potential side effects to look out for. This includes which activities, food, and beverages to avoid.
  • What do I do if I forget a dose?
    When this occurs, try to follow your doctor’s directions as closely as possible and notify your doctor immediately. The decision to make up a missed dose depends on the medication. You can also ask your pharmacist for advice when you have the prescription dispensed.
