Leave room to think. # Make room for your own questions A visit is a chance to ask whether an offer fits your health and your budget. Keep the answers that matter to you. ## Prepare for a conversation about you Have your medicine list and health questions close by. Note what you hope care might help with, and what worries you about the offer. The Wegovy label asks about past pancreatitis. This serious illness can cause severe or lasting pain in the belly, sometimes reaching the back. Bring records of gallbladder trouble, such as gallstones, serious stomach problems and eye damage linked to diabetes as well. The cancer question is specific: has anyone in your family, or have you, had the rare cancer named medullary thyroid cancer? Signs named in the label’s tumour warning include a neck lump and a lasting hoarse voice. Problems with breathing or swallowing are also listed. MEN 2 names a rare illness passed down within a family. Tell the prescriber if that name appears in your records, and bring any family diagnosis you cannot explain. Discuss other diabetes medicines, pregnancy plans and any surgery coming up. Health history covered by the Wegovy label Before the visit Before the conversation ends Write down your hopes and worries. Ask what the person assessing you thinks fits your situation, including choices other than this medicine. Bring the offer and medicine name. Ask why this product is proposed and what would make the plan change. Keep your cost questions nearby. Ask for the full charge and the plan for later visits in writing. The aim is a two-way discussion. Leave space to ask what an unfamiliar word means. ### Look for a chance to answer more Medical boards’ guidance checked on 26 September 2026 says a fixed set of online boxes is not enough if important health details are missing. The doctor reviewing an online form must be able to come back to you with questions or ask for more health history. If a proper assessment needs tests or an examination in person, the guidance calls for the doctor to arrange that or send you to someone who can. This advice is written for medical boards to use when setting rules; it is not itself a law for every state. Medical boards’ guidance on a full assessment ## Keep this question sheet Print the question sheet Use the boxes to keep track of the answers you have. Unmarked boxes can prompt the next question. Your browser’s print menu also works. The product and purpose Which exact medicine and form are being proposed? What is it meant to help with in my case? What other choices could we discuss? The people and the plan What is the prescriber’s full name and professional role? Who fills the prescription, and can I have that pharmacy’s full name? Who will reply if a problem comes up between visits? What will the follow-up involve? The money and the next decision What is the full price, including medicine and any separate fees? What charge replaces the opening offer? How do repeat charges and cancellation work? How will we review whether this plan still fits me? Notes to take to the visit A price is easier to compare once the visit, the medicine and the later charges are set out.
