Questions to Ask Your Pharmacist

Pharmacists are trained to answer questions about medicines, and asking them is a good habit whenever you receive something new.

Helpful questions

• What is this medicine for, and how should I take it?
• When is the best time of day to take it?
• Should I take it with food or on an empty stomach?
• What should I do if I miss a dose?
• Are there other medicines, foods or drinks I should avoid?
• How should I store it?

Writing your questions down before you go can make the conversation quicker and clearer.
