What to Expect

What to expect from seeing a doctor?

Important Note:

One size does NOT fit all!

Your doctor may or may not start you on a medication! Having a discussion with your doctor can help you figure out what the best next steps for you are!

Getting a prescription - Now what?

What is a prescription?

  • A prescription is a sheet of paper written by your doctor telling you which medicine to take and how you will take it

What do I do with my prescription?

  • You can visit any local pharmacy near you to receive your medication. Make sure to bring your prescription!

  • The pharmacist will tell you what you need to know about your medication. Take this opportunity to ask any remaining questions you may have about the prescription.

What if I need more of my medication?

  • Sometimes your doctor will write refills on your prescription which means you can order another supply of your medicine without having to see your doctor
