处方
预约前
It is important that your health care team knows about any medications you take. 这包括:
- 处方药
- Over-the-counter medicines
- Dietary supplements, such as vitamins and herbs
Your family doctor (primary care physician, or PCP) must also know about any allergies and adverse reactions you've had to medicines.
Questions to ask your provider
When a medication is prescribed for you, we encourage you to ask the following questions:
- 这药是什么药?
- How should I take it and for how long?
- What side effects are likely?
- What do I do if I have any side effects?
- Is this medicine safe to take with other medicines or dietary supplements?
- What food, drink, or activities should I avoid while I'm using this medicine?
Questions to ask your pharmacist
When you pick up your medication, ask your pharmacist:
- To confirm that this is the medicine your doctor prescribed
- For advice about the best device for measuring your liquid medicine. Special devices such as marked syringes can help you measure the right dose.
- For written information about the side effects your medicine can cause. This will help you be prepared, and let you know ahead of time if any side effects require medical attention.

Some health insurance policies require that you consult your primary care provider, (PCP), before you visit a specialist. Your PCP must authorize the visit. 这叫做 推荐.
If you need to see a specialist for a health condition that is not treated by 内科医学:
- Call the number on the back of your insurance card. Your insurance company will tell you if your PCP must authorize the visit to the specialist.
- 如果你需要推荐 contact your doctor's office.The office will notify you if your PCP needs to see you before he or she can authorize the 推荐.
请注意: A 推荐 from your PCP does not guarantee that your health insurance company will pay for your visit to the specialist.
