When talking to your doctor about the use of any medications, be sure to inform them of any other treatments you are on or have used in the past. Ask your doctor questions and make sure that you understand all potential risks and side effects associated with using the medication. Additionally, ask what alternatives there may be if a particular medication is not right for you. It is important to discuss how long it will take for the treatment to work, as well as how long it should last after stopping use. Your doctor can help determine which medications could work best for your specific situation and provide guidance on how often they need to be taken and in what doses.
