Cultural Tip
In German‑speaking medical practice it is customary to disclose not only prescription drugs but also over‑the‑counter medicines, herbal remedies and dietary supplements. Using the formal ‘Sie’ form (e.g., ‘Geben Sie … an’) is the norm in professional settings; the informal ‘Gib … an’ is only appropriate with children or close acquaintances.
