Preparing for a doctor consultation
Information that helps a clinician make a safer prescribing decision.
⚠This educational material does not replace advice from a doctor or pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change a prescription medicine without professional guidance.
Bring a medicine list and be ready to discuss symptoms, general health, blood pressure, cardiovascular history and previous treatment experiences honestly.
A useful consultation should also cover alternatives, realistic expectations, follow-up and the circumstances in which treatment should be stopped.
