The questions worth keeping close
Ask what happens before treatment starts
A responsible program should be able to explain its evaluation process, health-history review, contraindication screening, and when lab work is considered.
Understand the follow-up plan
Ask how medication questions, side effects, dose changes, and follow-up appointments are handled after the first conversation.
Know the pharmacy source
If medication is part of the program, ask which pharmacy is involved and how you can confirm it is properly licensed.
Read the full cost, not only the first offer
Make sure you understand ongoing fees, medication costs, what is included, and how cancellation works before you enrol.
Educational information can help you prepare for a clinical conversation. It cannot tell you what is right for your individual health needs.
