Your doctor can help you create personalized goals for your treatment, and can help you decide whether SILIQ may be a good option for you. SILIQ is not for everyone and, due to the risk of suicidal ideation and behavior, is only available through a special program called a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program. Your doctor will walk you through this process and get you on your way. These questions can help start a conversation with your doctor during your next visit.

SILIQ is not for everyone. Ask your doctor if SILIQ is right for you. You can print your results below and take it to your next appointment.
