1.  What is that drug for?

2.  How and when do I take this drug, and for how long?

3.  Are there activitites, drinks, foods or medicine I should avoid while taking this drug?

4.  Will this new prescription interfere with the other drugs and supplements I take?

5.  What are the possible side effects, and what should I do if they occur?
