Start a medication

Tell me what you started and when. I text you when it's time, ask how you're feeling, and keep your questions for the prescriber together.

shot day today, right? how's the nausea been this week?
  1. First 10 minutes

    Send a photo of the label and instructions

    Tell me what you started and when. Send a photo of the pharmacy printout or the carton so I can keep the instructions with your questions. I ask you to confirm the dose and schedule you are following.

  2. Same day

    Set the schedule your prescriber gave you

    We put the dose times and any planned changes from your prescriber on the calendar. I text you at the times you ask for and ask whether the dose happened. Changes to the dose go through your prescriber.

  3. Every day

    Tell me how you feel

    I ask about the symptom you want to watch, and you tell me what changed. I keep your replies with the dates and the medication schedule you stated, so you can ask for the record before a visit.

  4. When a concern comes up

    Check the warnings in your instructions

    I compare what you report with the warnings in your medication instructions. I say when those instructions call for contacting a clinician or getting urgent care. I never decide a symptom is harmless or make a dose decision.

  5. On low-appetite days

    Keep your meals in the conversation

    Text me what you ate or send a photo, and I keep the calorie and protein count. We look for food you can manage within your care team's plan. Tell your prescriber about eating or drinking problems that concern you.

  6. Before the refill is due

    Plan the next pickup

    Tell me when your supply is due to run out and when you want a text about it. I keep that date and ask whether you arranged the refill. You contact the pharmacy or prescriber to request it.

  7. Before the follow-up

    Bring a dated record to your prescriber

    Ask me to read back how you felt and which doses you reported taking or missing. We put your questions together for the visit. Send the updated instructions afterward, and I help you follow the schedule your prescriber set.
