What to ask · keep the conversation yours
Bring questions that open the visit
The visit is moving fast. A short list keeps the main points from slipping past.
Picture this
The useful questions are not a quiz for the clinician. They make the plan visible enough to understand later.
About the plan
- What problem are we trying to address?
- What other options belong in the conversation?
- What would make this plan a poor fit?
- How will progress or problems be reviewed?
About the medicine
- What is the exact product and who makes or compounds it?
- Is it FDA-approved for this use?
- If it is compounded, why is a finished approved product not meeting the need?
- What written information comes with it?
After the visit: pharmacy, price, and records
- Which pharmacy receives the prescription?
- What is the full cost before I agree?
- Who answers a question after the visit?
- How can I get my visit note and prescription record?
No compounded drug carries FDA approval, and none gets an FDA check before sale.
