Match what you bring to what you want to ask
Bring to the conversation
A medicine list, the product offer you are comparing, and questions about your health history.
Ask during the conversation
Which product is under discussion? What would the assessment need to settle? What happens if it is not a fit?
Ask which label checks apply
A label is the official product information for a medicine.
The Saxenda product information asks the health professional to check thyroid cancer history and pregnancy plans. The thyroid is a small gland in the neck. It also asks about the pancreas, an organ behind the stomach, and the gallbladder, a small pouch near the liver.
For adults who have type 2 diabetes, which is a blood-sugar condition, it calls for blood sugar checks. Resting pulse also needs checking.
It also points to kidney checks when vomiting or diarrhea causes fluid loss.
The Saxenda label tells the prescriber to review an adult’s weight change after 16 weeks. If the adult has lost less than 4% of their starting weight, it tells the prescriber to end treatment.
This is a check for the prescriber. Ask what they would review in your case and what the result could change.
Record the answer and the next step

It is fine to ask for an answer in everyday words. A useful follow-up is to repeat your understanding and ask whether you have it right.
