Indication and fit
Start with whether the therapy fits the reader’s actual medical context, not whether it is popular online.
- What indication would this be used for in my case?
- Is this FDA-approved for that indication?
- Are there alternatives with stronger evidence or lower risk?
- What health history would make this a bad fit?
- How will we know if it is working?
Safety and monitoring
Good questions make side effects and follow-up explicit.
- What side effects are common during dose escalation?
- What symptoms should prompt urgent care or a call to the office?
- What labs, vitals, or follow-up visits are appropriate?
- How do my current medications or supplements change the risk picture?
- Does pregnancy planning, gallbladder history, pancreas history, GI disease, or eating-disorder history matter here?
Cost and access
Access problems should be discussed before the first dose, not when the refill fails.
- Will insurance cover this indication?
- What prior authorization is required?
- What is the cash-pay fallback?
- What happens if supply changes?
- If compounding is mentioned, what pharmacy and ingredient form are being used?
Nutrition and maintenance
Medication without a support plan can create avoidable problems.
- How should I protect lean mass?
- What protein, hydration, and fiber targets are reasonable for me?
- What happens if I pause or stop?
- How often should we reassess dose, side effects, and goals?
- What is the long-term maintenance plan?
