Taking your medication improperly can render it ineffective or worse, so it\u2019s important to get it right. Unfortunately, almost <\/span>40% of Canadians<\/span><\/a> don\u2019t take their medications as directed. The reasons for this are complex, but part of it comes down to a lack of information. When it comes to a new prescription, doctors and pharmacists are there to provide answers, but they rely on you to ask specific questions. Here\u2019s what to ask your provider whenever you\u2019re prescribed something new.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about timing<\/h3>\n

Dosage guidelines should always be visible on medicines \u2014 prescription or otherwise. But there\u2019s more to a prescription than knowing how and when to take it. What about if you accidentally forget to take a dose? Is doubling up once you remember ok? Or, if it\u2019s almost time for your next dose, should you skip the missed dose entirely? In addition, it\u2019s important to know if you should continue to take the medication until you finish it, or if you can stop taking it once your symptoms abate. What\u2019s more, you need to know if there are any length-of-use limitations. Certain heartburn medications, for example, are great for occasional relief of acute symptoms, but you shouldn\u2019t use them daily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides scheduling, timing is an important component of taking a drug. Some drugs need to be taken with food, for example, or you risk upsetting your stomach. Others, like certain erectile dysfunction medications, might not work as well if you take them <\/span>immediately following a meal<\/span><\/a>. Some drugs, like <\/span>certain forms of birth control<\/span><\/a>, are extremely sensitive to timing, and missing your dose by even a few hours can make them significantly less effective. Given how important timing can be for certain medications, don\u2019t be shy about asking your healthcare provider the \u201cwhens\u201d of taking your prescription.<\/span><\/p>\n

How will this medication interact with your other medications?<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re already taking medication, adding another prescription to the mix can throw everything out of whack. Mixing medications can get tricky \u2014 certain medications lose effectiveness when combined with others, while mixing others can cause dangerous and even life-threatening side effects. Make sure your provider knows which medications you are already taking, both over-the-counter and prescription. Vitamins and supplements can also interact with prescription medications, so don\u2019t forget to include them as well. The best way to do this is to bring any boxes or prescription bottles with you to your appointment. And don\u2019t worry about being refused treatment if there\u2019s a medication conflict \u2014 your provider can offer an alternative if need be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How will my new prescription impact my current health conditions?<\/h3>\n

If you have pre-existing conditions, your primary care team can walk you through the effects your new medication may have on those. Even if you think your new prescription won\u2019t affect an underlying health condition, you should still double check with your doctor and pharmacist. The human body is complex, and no part of it acts in isolation. Certain <\/span>antibiotics<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>beta-blockers<\/span><\/a>, for example, can affect blood sugar levels, making them dangerous for individuals with diabetes<\/a>. Anytime you\u2019re prescribed medication by any healthcare provider, they should have a full picture of your health.<\/span><\/p>\n

What information should you share with your pharmacist?<\/h3>\n

You shouldn\u2019t be the only one asking questions when you\u2019re getting a new prescription. Both your provider and your pharmacist should know your health background. If you have any underlying health conditions, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, your team needs to know. It\u2019s also important that you share other lifestyle specifics with them. If you use drugs or alcohol recreationally, your provider should know, as that may impact which medications they prescribe you. Likewise, if you have trouble sticking to a timetable and think you might have difficulty taking medications on a schedule, let your provider know. You may be offered accommodation or an alternative form of medication \u2014 like an IUD instead of oral contraception, for example.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the side effects?<\/h3>\n

Side effects are often high on the list of concerns with a new prescription, and with good reason. Side effects can range from mild to severe, in some cases even affecting your overall quality of life. It\u2019s worth exploring the pros and cons of your new medication with your provider. You might find that some of the potential side effects can be mitigated. A medication that upsets the stomach, for instance, might be less troublesome if you cut out caffeine while you take it. Certain side effects, however, are unavoidable. Without knowing the trade-offs or potential effects, it\u2019s impossible to make an informed decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting a new prescription may seem simple, making it tempting to leave the details to your healthcare team. But it\u2019s crucial that you understand your own treatment. Don\u2019t be shy about asking your doctor and pharmacist in-depth questions about any new medications \u2014\u00a0 and make sure they\u2019re aware of anything pertinent regarding your health. You need to feel comfortable with your new prescription, and your provider needs a full picture of your health to prescribe appropriately.<\/span><\/p>\n
