Sacramento readers and a plan that keeps moving

Sacramento readers who take a menopause treatment or a weight management medicine often have a week that does not stay in one place. The questions below cover what to ask a prescriber about missed doses, travel and schedule changes. For Sacramento readers, label directions are the starting point when work travel or a split week interrupts a plan, and the answers belong to your prescriber.

If you commute, travel for work, or split your week between places, write down the days that tend to break your routine and bring that list to your prescriber.

Questions worth bringing to your prescriber

Ask these with your own medicine and its label in hand.

• If a work trip falls on a dose day, what do the label directions say to do?
• With the week split between two places, where should the medicine and its directions stay?
• Can a refill go to a pharmacy near where I work?
• If travel makes me miss a follow-up, how soon should I rebook?
• Who do I call if a question comes up while I am away from home?

Keep the answers on your phone next to a photo of the label, so they travel with you.
