Ask your doctor now: You should bring this question to your prescribing doctor for any concern or possible misunderstanding since s/he knows more about your individual conditions than anyone online. Further inquiry online may add unnecessary confusion, anxiety, & even fear. Do you trust your doctor? If not, see others as needed.
