Weighing a semaglutide care offer
Take these questions into the conversation.
Print this chapter or copy the questions onto paper. Write the answers in your own words, and mark anything that still needs an answer.
Name the person and the product
- Who will decide whether a prescription fits my situation?
- Which state record can I use to check that person?
- What is this medicine called in full? Does it come as a shot or tablet?
- Which pharmacy will prepare or supply it?
Keep in mind The FDA, which regulates US medicines, says people who obtain pharmacy-made medicines online may be unaware of which pharmacy prepared them.
My notes
Ask how the plan fits your health
- What health problem would this medicine treat for me?
- What in my health history matters to this decision?
- Which other choices could we talk through?
- What would make you decide against this medicine?
Keep in mind Keep the reason for treatment in plain words. Have the person providing your care put each unfamiliar term into plain words.
My notes
Leave with a bill and a follow-up plan
- What does the ongoing bill include and leave out?
- If I leave without a prescription, which charges would still apply?
- Who reviews my progress, and how do I reach them?
- What happens if I cannot continue paying?
Keep in mind Before ending the conversation, read back what you understood. Leave space for answers that need checking.
