Questions for your doctor

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

  1. Am I a candidate for antifungal agents?

  2. How and when should I use this drug?

  3. What should I do if I miss a dose?

  4. What side effects might I develop from using the drug?

  5. Will the antifungal agent interact with any of the other drugs I take?

  6. When can I expect to see an improvement?

  7. How long will I have to take the drug?

  8. If my condition clears quickly, can I stop taking the antifungal agents?

  9. How will I know if the drug is working?

  10. What will be the next step if the drug fails?

  11. Will I require blood tests while taking the drug?
