Discuss a vitamin-related concern with a clinician before deciding whether any treatment or investigation is appropriate.
A consultation for vitamin therapy starts with the concern you would like to address and an assessment of the area. Discuss your medical history, previous treatment and current medicines so the clinician can explain the options relevant to you.
Ask why the treatment is being proposed, what evidence supports its intended use and which alternatives are available. Clinical need and individual suitability should be discussed before any plan.
If treatment is proposed, ask for an explanation of the steps, cost, aftercare and follow-up. Plans and expected outcomes vary between individuals; the decision follows a discussion of your circumstances.
Suitability depends on an assessment of your condition, health history and goals. Your clinician can explain alternatives if this option is not appropriate.
The details depend on the proposed plan and treatment area. Ask for a clear explanation of costs and appointments before agreeing to treatment.
Discuss expected benefits, risks, recovery and aftercare. Take the time you need to ask questions before making a decision.
