Talking with your provider can help you make well-informed decisions about your health.  When you fill out a patient history form, include everything you use so the provider will have a full picture of what you do to manage your health.  Bring a list of all the health products you take—over-the-counter medicines, prescription medicines, and dietary supplements—to every office visit.

Be proactive. Start the conversation.  Find out more
