Some sentences make pharmacists worry straight away. "I didn't think it was important" is right at the top of the list.
Small details can make a real difference to how safe your medication is. Taking more than you've been told to, stopping a course early because you feel better, using medication prescribed for someone else or combining it with something you found online can all lead to side effects, interactions or treatment that doesn't work as it should.
The same goes for symptoms you've been putting up with for weeks. If something isn't right, it's worth mentioning.
When a pharmacist asks you questions, we're making sure your medication is right for you and that you're getting the best advice.
