Questions to ask your local chemist

The local pharmacist can be a key member of your healthcare team. Your pharmacist can dispense medicine provided by the doctor and help you manage your health and wellbeing. Come prepared to your next visit with these useful questions:

• Ask if there is a generic version of the prescribed drug. A pharmacist can advise you if there is a generic, less expensive version of the brand name drug. Not all generics are alike, however. Some of the inactive ingredients may be less pleasant on the stomach or bitter tasting.
• Ask if there are any major side effects or special instructions. Your pharmacist might take you through the labels and give you instructions, but some side effects might be more relevant to you than others.
• Ask for a medication review if you are taking a few different drugs. Sometimes there may be added side effects.
