Refer her to the pharmacist for counseling or to the product’s patient website.
Rationale: pharmacists are the medication experts and can provide up‑to‑date, accurate counseling on dosing, interactions, monitoring and adverse effects for a new product; the manufacturer’s patient information leaflet/website is the official source of patient‑friendly information. Advise the patient not to rely on social media for safety/efficacy information and not to stop the medicine suddenly without checking with a clinician unless instructed to do so for a serious reaction.
