"A merry heart does good like medicine but a broken spirit dries up the bones." - Proverbs 17:22
Starting a new drug?
Ask these questions:
- What is the drug and what is it designed to do?
- What should I do if I forget a dose?
- What is the dosing schedule and how do I take it?
- What side effects should I expect? How long will I be on this drug?
- Should I take this on an empty stomach or with food?
