If you have any doubt related to your medicine, it’s always better to consult with your doctor.  Sometimes doctors prescribe medication you might not need, and that certainly harms your body. For your own health and safety, before you fill your prescription, ensure to ask these questions from your doctor:



Are There Any Side Effects Of Your Prescription Medication?
It’s your doctor’s job to inform you about the possible side effects of your prescription medications. Medicines affect differently on every individual and can result in various side effects, such as sudden hearing loss, irregular heartbeat, rashes, chest pain, and more. So make sure to ask about medication side-effects. Moreover, ask your doctor about the foods, drinks, and other medicines to avoid while taking the medication.
