Heard (many times) on tv, in an ad for the drug Xeljanz:
Don’t take Xeljanz if you have any kind of infection, unless OK with your doctor.
Unless OK with your doctor is an ellipsis over the line for me; for me, it would have to be unless that’s / it’s OK with your doctor. But obviously that’s not the case for everybody. From two other pieces of medical advice:
Avoid enemas and laxatives unless OK with your doctor. (link)
you shouldn’t take any medication while nursing unless ok with your doctor (link)
On Xeljanz:
Tofacitinib (trade name Xeljanz, formerly tasocitinib …) is a drug of the janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor class, discovered and developed by Pfizer. It is currently approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the United States and is being studied for treatment of psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, and other immunological diseases, as well as for the prevention of organ transplant rejection.
