Need advice on a label

8 replies
Dear warriors,

I'm working on an offline health product.

Need advice from all of the grammarians out there on the wordings of a label:

Which one of the below phrase is correct:

a) If pregnant or have a medical condition, consult your physician

b) If pregnant or having a medical condition, consult your physician

Much thanks =)

    Absolutely not the second one!
    "having" is the wrong word.

    Glad you asked. No one will give the product more than 2 seconds if there are grammar errors

    c) If you are pregnant or have a medical condition, consult your physician (Before ?)

    C, because A and B are missing the subject of "you"!
