It's important to always question doctors about what they prescribe to you. I got that advice from my uncle to where my cousin agreed: who is a pediatric doctor and his son is a gastrologist. One life example I can give is my mother had hip surgery and they pushed hard one blood thinner. My mother opted against the new blood thinner and for the tried and true that has existed for a long time. Following the surgery maybe a year later that particular blood thinner was on commercials for lawyers seeking victims. You should do your own research on anything a doctor prescribes or suggests because medical professionals are not perfect. They make mistakes, but that also doesn't mean that every doctor is pushing the wrong product and doesn't know your situation. Just don't be lazy when dealing with your health and do your own research. You don't want to face years of intense addictions over a little pain.
