View All PrescriptionsConsultations and prescription care
A consultation gives you time to discuss whether treatment fits your symptoms, medical history and priorities. The clinician may recommend a prescription, a different approach, further tests or an in-person assessment. Asking about a particular medicine is a starting point for that conversation.
Before your visit
Write down what you want treatment to improve, what you have already tried and any reactions you experienced. Have your current prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and supplements available. Include recent results or monitoring records that relate to the treatment you want reviewed.
During the consultation
Ask what the proposed medicine is intended to do, how you will recognize a benefit and which side effects need attention. Make sure the instructions, monitoring and follow-up arrangements are clear. Tell the clinician if cost, pharmacy access or the treatment routine could make the plan difficult to follow.
At the pharmacy
If treatment is prescribed, confirm the medicine, strength, quantity and cost with the dispensing pharmacy. Check your name and directions on the label when you receive it. Ask the pharmacist about anything unfamiliar, including a change in appearance or a different brand, before taking the medicine.
Find the right clinician for your questions
Choosing care is easier when you can learn about the person you will see. Explore our medical team's backgrounds and clinical interests, then choose a visit that fits the concerns you want to discuss. For prescription questions, have the product name, strength and reason for treatment ready.
An online visit can offer a convenient way to review a concern. Some medicines and conditions need an examination, laboratory tests or other arrangements before a treatment decision can be made. Discuss those requirements when planning your visit.
