Pause cards
An unanswered question is a reason to pause.
Keep the offer, the label, and the written reply. Write down what is missing, then ask for an answer before agreeing to care.
Ask.
Check.
Keep the answer.
No prescription
Pause if no one has checked your health.
A clinician reviews your health and decides on care; the term means a health professional. A prescription is their order for a medicine. Ask who checks your health and makes that decision.
A research label
Pause if the label and the offer disagree.
Choosing from a treatment list
Ask when someone will check your health.
Ask it plainly
What will you check about my health before deciding whether this plan fits me?
Delivery and storage
Ask for instructions for the exact product.
Peptide medicines have different storage needs: some require cold storage, while others can stay at room temperature. Use the directions on your medicine’s label and those given by the pharmacy.
Ask the pharmacy for the product’s instructions and what to do if a parcel arrives in poor shape. Get the reply before delivery.
After the visit
Get a plan for problems.
Ask it plainly
Which effects need urgent help, who can I reach, and how will we review a problem?
