The Consumer Federation of the Southeast has created a card on which there are six questions to ask your pharmacist if you are asked to switch your prescription drug to a different mmedicine. Please clip and carry in your wallet.
The following are the questions printed on the wallet-sized card:
1. Is this the same medicine that my physician prescribed?
2. If the medicines are not exactly the same, why are you switching them?
3. How will the change impact my health?
4. Has the dose of my medicine changed from my previous prescription?
5. Are the instructions for using this medicine different from my previous prescription?
6. What is the appeals process for continuing to receive my previous medicine?
