As a patient you are due information about the medication you have been prescribed.
Ask the doctor or prescribing nurse: Why did you choose this medication? Are there
alternatives? What benefits can I expect, and when? What side effects or long-term
problems might I have? What will it cost me? If your questions are dismissed, get out
and don’t go back.
