Name the medicine question.
Write down the medicine question, why it matters now, what has changed and what you need to ask next.
What this helps you do
Slow the medication question down enough to ask the right questions.
This quick tool is for a single medication conversation where the reason, change, side effects, monitoring or follow-up plan feels unclear.
Prepare focused questions.
Use prompts for medicine purpose, changes, side effects, uncertainty, practical impact, monitoring and follow-up.
Capture the plan.
Keep a simple note of what was explained, who explained it, what you decided and what still needs follow-up.
Where it sits
Choose the right level of support.

Built for one medication conversation, not every possible worry.
The tool helps you hold onto the essentials: what changed, what the medicine is for, what you need to ask and what was agreed.
What is this medicine for?
Name the medicine question in plain language before the conversation moves on.
What has changed?
Select the questions most relevant to the medicine, your circumstances and your priorities.
What needs checking?
Use prompts for timing, monitoring, side effects, alternatives and follow-up where appropriate.
What was agreed?
Write down the answer, next step, follow-up, red flags and anything still unresolved.
Before you use this tool
Use it to clarify, not to change treatment by yourself.
The aim is to support one clearer medication conversation, not to replace professional, prescribing or pharmacy advice.
Keep the medicine question specific.
Use the tool around the specific decision being discussed rather than trying to cover every possible issue.
Do not start, stop or change medication alone.
The tool does not interpret results, assess clinical risk, diagnose side effects or tell you whether to start, stop, reduce or change medication.
Do not delay urgent help.
If someone is seriously unwell, deteriorating, unsafe or in immediate danger, seek urgent or emergency medical help rather than using this tool first.
