Hello, Kaylie. It looks like you're here to pick up a prescription today.
human
Yeah. My doctor said he called something in.
gpt
Okay. It looks like cholesterol statin. Do you know how you're supposed to take the medication?
human
No, not really.
gpt
Well, you just take it once a day. Did he tell you what side effects to expect?
human
No.
gpt
Well, some of the common ones are nausea, vomiting, headache. There are some severe ones like dermatomyositis, liver failure, lupus, rhabdomyolysis, hemorrhagic cerebral infarction. If you have any of those, just call your doctor.
human
Okay. Um, why am I taking this medication?
gpt
It's for your dyslipidemia. Oh yeah, just one tablet a day. Do you have any questions for me?
human
No, I guess not.
gpt
All right. Great. Have a good day.
gpt
Hello, Kaylie. I see you're here to pick up a prescription today.
human
Yeah. My doctor said he called something in.
gpt
Oh, it looks like he called in cholesterol statin. Do you know how you're supposed to take this medication?
human
No, not really.
gpt
Okay. Well, you take this one once a day. Did he tell you what side effects to expect?
human
No.
gpt
All right. Well, some of the common side effects are nausea, vomiting, headache. There are some severe side effects like dermatomyositis, liver failure, lupus, rhabdomyolysis, hemorrhagic, cerebral infarction. If you have any of those, you should call your doctor.
human
Okay. Um, so why am I taking this medication?
gpt
It's for your dyslipidemia. Oh, and you should take one every day. Do you have any questions for me?
human
I guess not.
gpt
All right. Great. Well, have a good afternoon.

Hello, Kaylie, I'm Lori, the pharmacist here at Bulldog Pharmacy. I see that you have a new prescription for cholesterol statin 20 called in by Dr. Ferris today. I wondered if you had a minute to talk to me. I just want to make sure that you know how best to take it, and if you have any questions.
human
Sure. I'm just getting a few groceries.
gpt
Okay. What did the doctor tell you cholesterol statin is for?
human
Well, he told me that I had a blood test for cholesterol, and that I should start taking this.
gpt
He's right. This medicine is designed to help lower your cholesterol, and that means that it will help lower your risk of having a heart attack or a stroke. How did your doctor tell you to take this medicine?
human
He didn't really tell me. He just phoned it in.
gpt
Okay. Well, you're going to take one tablet of cholesterol statin 20 one time a day by mouth, and you can take that with or without food. When do you normally take your medications?
human
Well, I take all of my other medications right before I go to bed. So I guess I could take it then.
gpt
Okay. That's perfect because cholesterol statin works best if it's taken at night, though you can take it any time of the day. And you should take it every single day. It's important to keep that up. Where do you store your medications?
human
I store my medications, uh, in my nightstand, right by my bed.
gpt
All right. Do you have any children in your home?
human
No.
gpt
Okay. Well, then that sounds like a perfect location for you. Medicines keep best if they're stored away from light and heat and moisture. What did the doctor tell you to expect in terms of side effects?
human
He didn't mention anything about that.
gpt
All right. Well, this medication is pretty well tolerated, which means it doesn't have very many side effects. But you might experience some mild muscle aches and pains. If they seem really severe to you, then you should call Dr. Ferris and talk to him about that. Also this medicine can interact with a lot of other medications, and even over the counter things. So check with the doctor or myself before you start anything new. And lastly, grapefruit juice can interact with cholesterol statin 20. So if you use grapefruit juice every day, I probably would switch to a different juice while you're on this medication.
gpt
Just so I know we're on the same page, can you repeat back to me how you'll take this medicine?
human
Sure. I'm just gonna take one tablet right before I go to bed with my other medications. And I guess I will switched to orange juice. And if I notice any muscle pain that is severe, I'll call Dr. Ferris right away.
gpt
Great, Kaylie. I know we went over a lot today. What other questions do you have for me?
human
Uh, I think you answered all my questions. Thank you.
gpt
Fantastic. All right. Well, here's your prescription. I even put it on auto fill for you so that it will be filled for you every- at the same time every month. And if you have any other questions later, our phone number is right here on the bottle, and you can call me at any time. Thanks so much. Have a great day.
