- Name it. What is the full ingredient name, and is this something put on the skin or injected?
- Name the person. Who will assess me before prescribing, what is their job, and where can I check their licence?
- Name the evidence. What result is being offered, and was that result studied in people using this form?
- Name the whole bill. What does the quote include, and what might be charged later?
