It is very important that you follow your doctor's orders.
- If you don’t understand why the doctor wants you to do something, be sure to ask the nurse or the doctor.
- Read all the instructions that come with your medicine and take it exactly as instructed. Ask for help if you don’t understand.
- Make a plan on how to manage your care and medication when you are home.
- Ask as many questions as you can before you leave the hospital or clinic.
- When you are home, write down any questions you have before your next appointment and bring them with you when you visit your doctor.
If you have a question you need to ask now,
call the clinic or department where you see your doctor.
