ANSWER:
The appropriate time to ask a doctor to clarify information about a prescription is after doing a proper check-up of the related condition or sickness.
EXPLANATION:
- The patient should be well informed about the drugs they are taking in their body. Don't take the prescriptions blindly just because the doctor says so.
- Ask about the side-effects and benefits of taking the drug, its overall effectiveness, the designated time period to take the drug, etc.
- Only accept the prescription after you’re fully informed and aware of the drug. Try and pay enough attention when the doctor is clarifying the information about a certain prescription.
