expecting a Rx; when to check vs FAA approved "list"?
Let's say you are going to the doc for high cholesterol (just an example, could be hypertension, migraines, anything). This doc is your primary care provider, and not your AME. During your visit, the doc prescribes medication for treatment.
When do you check if the prescription is likely an FAA approved drug? Should you ask your doc (or PA) if this medication is FAA approved (likely he/she won't know) or wait til after the appointment and PRIOR to filling the Rx and check the FAA web site? The problem with waiting til after the appointment is IF the Rx is not approved, then you have to call the doc and ask for other options.
could I use something like this for example:
