Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following antispasmodic-related questions:
-
Might I benefit from taking antispasmodics?
-
What are the potential side effects with the specific antispasmodic you are recommending for me? Which are likely to resolve with time?
-
Are there any long term side effects? Will my risk of these side effects change as I age?
-
Which, if any, side effects should I immediately report to you?
-
What lifestyle changes, if any, do you recommend to cope with potential side effects?
-
What should I do if I miss a dose of this medication?
-
What should I do if I suspect I may have taken too much of this medication?
-
Will the medication interfere with any other drugs I am currently taking?
-
Are there any over-the-counter medications or products I should avoid when taking this medication?
-
Should I take this medication at a particular time of day?
-
Should I avoid taking this medication with any type of food or beverage (e.g., grapefruit juice)?
