Dear [recipient's name]:

Last week, Dr. Davis prescribed a pain medication for the knee pain I have been experiencing in recent weeks. After obtaining the prescription from the pharmacy, I realized I have some questions about the pain medication and the dosage Dr. Davis prescribed. Also, I would like to verify whether I should take this medication a certain number of times every day, or just when I am experiencing severe pain.

Please ask Dr. Davis to call me as soon as possible at 809-7722. I look forward to hearing from him.
