Treatment Information

What is a wellness check?

A wellness check for chronic conditions is a comprehensive assessment of your health if you have a chronic condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or asthma/COPD. It includes a review of your medical history, a physical exam, and blood tests. The purpose of a wellness check for chronic conditions is to identify any potential problems with your condition so that they can be addressed early.

 

What to expect

During a wellness check for chronic conditions, your doctor will ask you about your medical history, including your family history of your chronic condition. They will also perform a physical exam, which may include checking your blood pressure, pulse, weight, breathing, heart rate, and oxygen levels. You will also have blood tests to check your blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels, kidney function, and lung function.

 

Why it’s important

A wellness check for chronic conditions is important because it can help you to identify any potential problems with your condition early. This means that you can take steps to address these problems before they become serious. For example, if your blood sugar levels are too high, your doctor may prescribe medication to help you control your blood sugar.

 

How often you should get a wellness check for chronic conditions?

The frequency of your wellness checks for chronic conditions will depend on your individual circumstances. However, most people with chronic conditions should get a wellness check at least once a year.

What is birth control?

Prescription birth control is most commonly used as a method to prevent pregnancy. However, there are other reasons that someone may use birth control, including treatment of gynecological conditions, such as endometriosis. Severe hormonal acne, very heavy and painful periods, and migraines associated with periods may also be reasons that birth control is used. 

Getting access to hormonal birth control via the pharmacy is often one of easiest ways for people to access cheap birth control.

I’m a nonbinary or transgender person. Can I get a new prescription for birth control at my pharmacy?

While we would love to offer birth control to all patients, medical regulations currently require us to refer trans patients seeking new birth control prescriptions to physicians specializing in trans healthcare. If you’ve already gotten an existing prescription, filling it should be no problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience — Scripted was built in part by trans and nonbinary staff, so we know difficulties accessing trans-friendly care can be frustrating. As soon as these regulations change, we’ll update our guidelines to welcome trans and nonbinary birth control patients.

What are seasonal allergies?

Allergic rhinitis, also called seasonal allergies, is a condition characterized by sneezing, nasal congestion, and itchy and runny nose. It is triggered by exposure to certain foreign substances, such as pollen or pet dander. This exposure causes your immune system to produce antibodies, which then cause a reaction when your body comes into contact with those substances.


Why are allergies important?

Allergic rhinitis affects between 10-30% of the population worldwide. The symptoms are very similar to the common cold, so it can often be assessed incorrectly, causing people to take the wrong medications. Furthermore, allergic rhinitis can negatively impact a person’s quality of life if left untreated.

Smoking greatly increases the chance of getting heart disease, lung disease, and cancer. Smoking also increases the chance of having a heart attack, a stroke, or clogged arteries.
