Pharmaceutical companies today are now advertising directly to the patients, to you, instead of to providers. Although it’s nice that you now know what is available to you, this can also lead to risky situations. Always talk to your provider about your concerns, and it is okay to bring up certain medications you might be interested in. Just because a medicine works for someone else, or has an alluring commercial, doesn’t mean that it’s completely safe, or right for you. Inform yourself of your options and ask your provider for realistic advice.
