Start with the treatment plan
Prescription decisions, dosing, side effects, and compounded products belong with a licensed prescriber and dispensing pharmacy. Supplements are not substitutes for prescribed care.
Describe what is changing
Share changes in appetite, food and fluid intake, gastrointestinal symptoms, energy, and your current supplement list. That context can help a clinician decide what deserves attention.
Avoid automatic add-ons
A GLP-1 medicine does not by itself establish that a particular vitamin or supplement is needed. Individual assessment may include diet, symptoms, medicines, health history, and laboratory information.
