My PRP was done this past Tuesday and I took 2 pills that day and 2 pills Wednesday. Can I ask for another session with no charge? I was not properly informed on which medications I was able to take and received no document or anything explaining the procedure and post-care. I am concerned that I have paid a huge amount of money for a session that might not be effective. Any suggestions on how to approach this?
