Ask whether your labs and history make medication safe for you. Some conditions and medications rule it out.
Ask about side effects and how they are managed. Many are mild and fade, but you should know what to watch for.
Ask what the plan is for food and activity. Medication works best as one part of a plan, not the whole plan.
Ask how long you might take it and what happens when you stop. This article is general information, not medical advice. Talk to your own provider.
