A member asked:

What can i do if a nurse practitioner wants to change my current medication and i don't want to have it changed. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Discuss: You have the right to ask why are things being changed ? All providers need to give you the information for change. Once you understand the reason for change then seek their input how the new meds would help. Then make a informed decision. If still not satisfied is ok to get a second opinion.
