The next step is for you and your doctor to look at your treatment options. Not all treatments have been proven by research studies to work-or to be the best treatment for what you have. Some of these guidelines are based on scientific evidence about which treatments work for certain conditions and which do not. Ask your doctor if there are evidence-based guidelines on treatments for your condition. Ask about any books or special materials that can help you decide which treatment is best for you.
All treatments have benefits and risks.
The medicine only needs to be taken once a day. The medicine is costly. Ask about anything you do not understand. Follow the doctor's directions. If you have a problem with the directions, tell the doctor-the sooner, the better.
