# Treatment guides

> Practical guides to being on treatment — using a pen injector, handling side effects, and what the first month actually looks like.

Practical guides for the part that comes after the prescription.

None of these override the patient information leaflet in your own medicine's
box, or an instruction from the doctor treating you. Where they disagree, the
leaflet and your doctor win.

## Treatment-specific guides

## Start a consultation

Pick the area that matches what you are dealing with. A registered doctor
reviews every questionnaire and decides whether treatment is appropriate —
declining is a normal outcome. See [what it costs](/essentials/pricing).
