Will I be prescribed Gambijeong immediately after applying for a consultation?

You may be wondering if a prescription is confirmed immediately upon applying for a Gambijeong consultation. To answer first, applying for a consultation and the decision to prescribe are not the same step. After applying, we check your current health status and any medications you are taking during an in-person or remote medical evaluation to determine if Gambijeong can be prescribed.

The overall process follows this sequence: consultation application, information preparation, evaluation by the director, determination of the next medical direction, and follow-up after taking the medicine. The application stage is for registration to connect you with a medical evaluation, and the actual prescription depends on the results of that evaluation.

You do not need to prepare a long, perfect explanation before your evaluation. Please honestly share any conditions you are currently being treated for, recurring discomforts, prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, supplements, and previous experiences with diet treatments. Information regarding your recent weight, appetite, meal times, sleep, and alcohol or caffeine intake patterns is also helpful for the evaluation.

If you cannot remember the name of a medication, there is no need to guess. It is easier to verify if you prepare a photo of the packaging or the prescription where the drug name is visible. Please also inform us before the evaluation of any situations that may affect the prescription decision, such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, or planning for pregnancy.

The evaluation is not decided by a single weight number. We sequentially check your current conditions, medications, reactions to previous diet drugs or Korean herbal medicine, and your sleep and digestion status. If it is difficult to determine through a remote interview alone or if direct verification is required, we may guide you to an in-clinic visit or tests.

If the evaluation results show that this tablet prescription is appropriate, we can proceed with the prescription. If the composition of medicinal ingredients needs to be tailored to the individual, a separate liquid herbal medicine prescription may be considered. If treating a disease or recovering your physical condition is more important than weight loss, that treatment will take priority. In some cases, a prescription may not be issued.

Once a prescription is decided, you will start based on the dosage and timing provided to you. Initially, you may take less than the standard dose to adapt. Recording your appetite, meals, sleep, bowel movements, weight, and any discomfort after taking the medicine will help in verifying your current response during the next evaluation.

If you experience discomfort during intake or have questions about the speed of weight loss or changes in your dosage, you may request a remote follow-up appointment. If necessary, the director may advise you to visit the clinic for an in-person visit. No additional consultation fees are charged for the consultation to prescribe this herbal medicine or for follow-up consultations during intake; however, if other treatments are required, the details and costs will be provided separately.

Applying for a consultation is a registration step to begin medical evaluation, not a confirmation of prescription. After reviewing your provided health information and current medications, the next direction will be determined among tablet prescription, personalized decoction, priority treatment for specific conditions, or in-person verification. The subsequent course of treatment will be decided based on those results.
