What should I ask a provider before starting an injectable protocol?
Ask who is prescribing and where they are licensed, whether you will be examined, which pharmacy compounds the medication, what bloodwork comes before and after, what the follow-up schedule is, and what the plan is for stopping. Vague answers to any of these are the finding, not a gap in the conversation.
The nine questions
Who is the prescribing clinician, and in which state are they licensed? Will I be examined, in person or by video, by that clinician? Which pharmacy compounds or dispenses this, and is it licensed? What bloodwork do you require before I start?
What will you re-test, and when? How often will I be seen? What side effects would make you stop? What is the plan for coming off, and what happens to my results then? And finally: what does the total cost cover over twelve months, including labs and follow-ups?
What good answers sound like
Specific and unhesitating. A named clinician with a licence number you can verify. A named pharmacy. A written lab list. A follow-up schedule with actual dates. A stated plan for discontinuation rather than an open-ended subscription.
You should also hear the word no somewhere — a provider who has never declined to treat someone is not assessing anyone.
The answers that should end it
No examination required. No bloodwork required. The prescriber cannot be named. The pharmacy cannot be named. Payment up front for a long course with no review point. Pressure to decide today.
None of these are about the compound. They are about whether anyone is taking clinical responsibility for you, which is the thing that actually determines how this goes.
