4. What should I do if I miss a dose?
   
   
5. How will I know if the drug is working?
   
   
6. What will be the next step if the drug fails to prevent my symptoms?
   
   
7. How will this drug affect my current medical conditions other than asthma/hay fever?
   
   
8. How will this drug interact with other medications I am currently taking?
   
   
9. What side effects may I develop from taking this drug?
   
   
10. For what side effects should I seek medical attention?
    
    
11. I am thinking about becoming pregnant. Can I continue to take this drug when I am pregnant?
