Quick, practical tips you can use today

Always tell your oncologist about every medicine and supplement you take—prescription, OTC, or herbal. Drug interactions matter more when multiple therapies are in play.

Verify online pharmacies before you buy: look for a physical address, a pharmacist contact, and proper licensing. If a deal looks too good or a site ships without a prescription, stop and double-check.

Track side effects in a simple notebook or phone note. Bring that list to appointments—doctors can’t fix what they don’t know. Also, ask about non-drug options for pain and nausea; many clinics offer helpful services like physical therapy or nutrition counseling.
