Which medical tests should I have and how often should I have them?
Your age, gender and family history all play an important part in deciding which annual screenings you should have. Be sure that you have access to your medical history, and let your doctor know if certain diseases run in your family.
What side effects should I watch for?
Medications affect everyone differently. This is why it is so important to know which side effects are more common and which ones signal an emergency. This will vary, of course, depending upon your medication, your age, your dosage and other factors.
