A few good questions to take with you

You do not need to arrive with all the answers. Choose the questions that matter to you and bring your medication list, supplements and relevant medical history to your clinician.

• What condition or goal are we addressing, and what alternatives should I consider?
• Is this exact product FDA approved? For which uses?
• What evidence applies to someone with my health history?
• What benefits are realistic, and how will we judge whether it is helping?
• What risks, interactions or reasons to avoid it apply to me?
• If this is compounded, what medical need makes that necessary, and which pharmacy prepares it?
• What is the full cost, including medication, visits, tests and follow-up?
• How will you explain the prescription and administration instructions?
• Who do I contact about side effects or a missed dose?
• When will we follow up, and when would we stop or change the plan?
