Read past the label

Laboratory labels leave care questions unanswered

Ask whether the offer is clinical care or a product marked for laboratory research.

Research use only
A label marking a product for research rather than a patient’s care.

Do not stop at the small print

Look at what the whole offer is asking you to do. Is there an assessment? Who is the clinician (the health professional evaluating your problem)? Which pharmacy is involved? Ask for those answers before considering a treatment.

A useful pause

Do not turn a laboratory product into a home treatment plan. Return to a care conversation with a licensed clinician.
