Share the information that affects safety
Before an injection visit, bring an up-to-date list of medications and supplements, medication allergies or prior reactions, relevant diagnoses, and your questions. The clinician should decide whether a requested injection is appropriate for you.
An injection visit is not a replacement for emergency evaluation. Call 911 or seek emergency care for severe or life-threatening symptoms.
Ask about safe administration
Safe injection practices protect patients from infection and other avoidable harm. Needles and syringes are single-use items and should never be reused between patients.
Ask the practice how it handles new symptoms, medication reactions, and follow-up after your visit. You should know who to contact if something does not feel right.
Questions to bring
Use these questions to support an informed discussion.
- What is this injection intended to address, and what are the alternatives?
- Are there reasons it may not be appropriate with my medications, allergies, or health history?
- What side effects or symptoms should prompt a call or emergency care?
- What follow-up is recommended after the visit?
Corva Medical does not provide emergency care. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For a non-urgent question, contact the practice or book a visit to discuss care that may fit your situation.
