[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 912803, member: 43498"] I agree, I read about a med before taking it for the first time, if I have internet access. In emergency situations I haven't always been able to do that, but I remedy that as soon as I can. I make do by asking the doctor what are the most common side effect and risks, and I ask if they have checked it against all my other meds for interactions. They are required to do this anyway, but it doesn't hurt to gently remind them, so they know we are watching. Often I've had to remind them of one or another interactions that I'm aware of, so I think that keeps them on their toes. [/QUOTE]
