Ask about the assessment
Begin with what you want help with. Ask for the thinking behind the proposed next step.
- What problem are we trying to treat?
- What other approaches could address it?
- What information is still missing?
- Would a test or an office exam change the plan?
Ask about the person and the medicine
Write the answers in plain words. Ask for an explanation when a term is unclear.
Medicines are reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration, also called FDA.
Compounded means made to order.
- What Nevada license do you hold?
- What is the drug's full name, and is it a shot, a tablet or something else?
- Does this finished product have FDA approval?
- If it is compounded, what need does it meet for me?
- What studies in people show that it helps with my problem?
- What could go wrong for someone with my health history?
- Which pharmacy prepares it, and which sends it?
Ask about the bill and ongoing help
Put the practical details beside the treatment decision. Ask for written terms you can read after the visit.
- What is included in the full price?
- What changes when an opening offer ends?
- Who reviews progress and decides when to reassess?
- How can I reach the prescriber or pharmacist with a concern?
- Who explains storage and the label instructions?
- How does cancellation work?
