After the first decision

Monitoring is part of the care, not an add-on

A plan needs a way to check both response and harm.

Checklist

Checks named in the label

The label gives prescribers a framework.

  • Blood sugar

    The label calls for a check before treatment and repeat checks during care.

  • IGF-1

    The label calls for blood tests of IGF-1, which rises with growth hormone, during treatment.

  • Eye health with diabetes

    People with diabetes need watching for new or worse eye damage.

  • Response

    The label says to weigh the benefit and risk again if deep belly fat does not fall.

  • Cancer history

    Past cancer needs careful review, and active cancer rules treatment out.
