How to choose an alternative safely

Switching drugs matters. If you're considering an alternative to a drug like hydroxychloroquine or Neurontin, start by listing your main priorities—pain relief, seizure control, fewer side effects, or slow disease progression. Share that list with your clinician. Ask about expected benefits, typical timelines, how side effects are managed, and whether monitoring (blood tests, blood pressure checks) is needed.

Buying meds online—what to check

Only use pharmacies that require a prescription for Rx drugs, show a real business address, and list a pharmacist contact. Look for pharmacy accreditation seals and read recent reviews. If a price looks too low for a prescription-only drug, treat it as a red flag. Always verify unfamiliar brands or generics with a pharmacist.
