Preparing questions in advance can help patients have more meaningful discussions with their physicians. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions related to allergy medications:

1. Which allergy medication do you recommend for me?
   
   
2. How effective are the medications you have recommended for me?
   
   
3. How will I know if my allergy medication is working?
   
   
4. How and when should I take my allergy medication?
   
   
5. Will I have to take allergy medication for the rest of my life?
   
   
6. How will allergy medication affect my current medical conditions other than allergies?
   
   
7. How will allergy medications interact with other medications I am currently taking?
   
   
8. What side effects may I develop from taking allergy medication?
   
   
9. What side effects should I immediately report to you?
   
   
10. What will be the next step if my current form of medication fails?
