Prepare questions for a pharmacist

You're in the pharmacy queue with a half-formed question. Get clear questions about the medicine or symptom you've named.

The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me prepare questions for a pharmacist.

Topic: [medicine name / minor symptom in my words]
What I've already tried: [list]
Other medicines/conditions: [list for me to tell them]
What I want to know: [timing, interactions, whether to see GP]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Clear questions to ask.
2. Facts I should tell them.
3. When they may send me to GP/111 instead.
4. Explicit: do not answer as if you are the pharmacist.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent diagnoses, doses, calorie targets or treatment plans. This is help with preparation, planning and wording, not medical, diet or treatment advice; check the NHS website, speak to a pharmacist, or contact NHS 111; call 999 if it feels like an emergency. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
