The Cleveland Clinic says you and your doctor should always share information about:
- Any health conditions other than the one being treated.
- Your current regimen of medications, herbs or supplements.
- Allergies to any medication, food or substance.
- Trouble taking any medication.
- If you may be pregnant, are pregnant, are planning to get pregnant or are breast-feeding.
