The doctor should be informed of the ongoing medications for any liver or kidney ailments, ongoing dialysis, history of loss of vision in one eye (non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION)), patients with severe cardiovascular disorders such as the history of cardiac arrest (heart attack) or failure, and the exact age in case of young individuals.
