Don't hesitate to ask....

When you get prescription from your doctor, don't hesitate to ask all about the diagnosis and the medication you are given. It is very important that you know what you are going to take? Does it have any side effects? Any contra indications? Does your doctor know what else you are taking? Does he know about your allergy history to any drug? If your doctor does not have time, still you take out time to educate yourself before taking any medicine.
We often find it easy to diagnose a condition. We simply ask a patient, if he or she is on any medication? Any new medicine introduced? Any over the counter prescription taken? So often we find, that such drugs can cause some harm to your body.
So, next time, ask your doctor more....
