Treatment cards

What, exactly, is on offer?

Get the medicine’s name and the problem it is meant to treat. Ask if it comes as a pill or is given as a shot.

Ask.
Check.
Keep the answer.

Name it

Ask for the actual medicine.

A clinician reviews your health and decides on care; the term means a health professional. Ask them to write down the medicine’s name, how it would be given, and the problem it is meant to treat.

Peptides are protein building blocks joined into small chains; insulin is a familiar example.

Ask it plainly

What is the full name of the treatment, and what are we trying to change?

Sort the answer

An approval belongs to a product.

The FDA is the Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. drug agency. Keep the product name beside any claim about its approval.

Ask it plainly

Is this exact product approved for my condition, or are you proposing a different use?

When the medicine is made for you

Ask why an approved option does not fit.

Compounding is the name for preparing a patient’s medicine to order; a pharmacist or doctor does this.

Ask it plainly

What need does this medicine meet that an approved product cannot?

If the label says research

Ask why it is being offered as care.

Keep the label and the page that made the offer. Use the pause cards to work out what remains unanswered.
