Do my clients need labs before they can be prescribed?

Explains when lab work is required to start or continue a prescription, including testosterone and GLP-1 requirements, and where clients can get labs done.

Generally no, with testosterone as the exception. For GLP-1 therapy, labs are required by the clinical team to be completed within the first 90 days of starting in order to continue. Your clients can order labs directly through Altro or have them done elsewhere.

Labs are broadly useful regardless of the medication, since they give you objective data to work from in your non-clinical coaching role, and they keep the client informed on their own health.
