Why do the doctors want to do follow up visits on the medicines that are given?
It is important that your doctor know how you are responding to the medicine that has been prescribed. Prescriptions are often very exact and based on your symptom pattern. Medicines given this way work better than giving the same medicine to everyone. It is also important because symptom patterns will change as the person becomes better or the illness changes form. These new symptoms are important for the next prescription. Lastly, we need to know how you are responding to the medications and after the illness has subsided, want to work with you to prevent its reoccurrence.
