Start with your reason for asking
You do not need to know a drip name before making an enquiry. Describe what has changed, what you hope to address and any existing diagnosis. A personalised consultation may conclude that an IV is unnecessary. The aim is a suitable next step, not the largest mixture available.
Personalised means clinically justified
A plan should explain why the route and each ingredient are appropriate. Ask about the anticipated benefit, uncertainty, interactions and practical alternatives. Combining menu options or adding supplements without a clear reason is not the same as individualised care. Final formulations are subject to prescription and availability.
Make the decision reviewable
Before treatment, you should understand who is responsible, what you consent to, the total price and the follow-up instructions. Tell the team if you need time to consider the recommendation. If symptoms require testing or closer observation, the consultation should guide you toward the appropriate setting.
Questions to bring to your consultation
- What is the reason for the proposed care, and could another approach be more suitable?
- Who is responsible for assessment, prescribing and monitoring, and how can I verify their professional status?
- What is the complete price in KES, expected appointment time and follow-up plan?
