1. What exactly is the treatment?
Ask for the product name, source, route of use, and the intended purpose. General words such as “regenerative” do not identify a specific product or establish effectiveness.
2. What supports this use?
Ask about clinical evidence, uncertainties, and FDA status for the specific product and proposed use. Registration, testing, or an observational registry should not be confused with FDA approval.
3. Am I a suitable candidate?
Your medical history, medications, and goals should be considered. Ask whether additional evaluation or specialist input is needed.
4. What are the risks and alternatives?
Discuss potential complications, recovery, follow-up, and established options. Know whom to contact if you have a concern.
5. What is the full commitment?
Request the total cost, proposed number of appointments, possible maintenance, and any optional home care. Take time to make an informed decision.
Educational information only. Discuss your individual care with a qualified medical professional.
