What to know
Keep the complete medicine picture together
Bring prescription medicines, non-prescription products, vitamins and supplements into the same conversation. An accurate list helps identify duplicated ingredients, interaction questions and details that may need prescriber follow-up.
Bring monitoring and device questions
If you use a home blood-pressure monitor, bring the device, recent readings and instructions from your care team. We can help with medicine and device questions; your prescriber or care team sets personal targets and treatment changes.
Plan continuity—and know when not to wait
Contact the pharmacy before medicines run out and tell us about recent changes or upcoming follow-up. Call 911 for possible heart attack or stroke symptoms or another emergency.
