How to Use These Tools

  • Before appointments: Complete the Symptom Self-Assessment to organize your observations and bring a clear picture of your current status to your doctor.
  • When reviewing medications: Use the Medication Reference to understand how your prescriptions work and check for known interactions. Always confirm with your pharmacist or physician before making any changes.
