Take a look at the prescription medications you have in your cabinet. Now, without cheating, could you tell somebody one of the side effects you may need to watch out for while taking them? How about telling them what you would do if you forgot a dose? These are only some of the things that every person should know about their medications, yet many walk out of the pharmacy with new prescriptions barely remembering the name of the medicine. Here are 10 questions you should ask your pharmacist before taking a new medication:1. What is the name of the medication, what is its strength, and what is it used for?
2. When and how should I take my medication?
3. How long should I take it?
4. Will this interact with any of my other medications, over-the-counter products or supplements?
5. Should I avoid alcohol, other medications, certain foods, or certain activities while I am on this medication?
6. Should I expect any side effects?
7. Is it possible to develop an allergic reaction to this medication?
8. What should I do if I forget to take my medication?
9. How should I store my medication?
10. Is there a generic version of this medication available?
