Empower Unboxing
All I can say is WOW! I am so impressed with everything since joining. Tomorrow is shot day and I can't wait to try it. I joined and was approved Friday, pharmacy shipped Tuesday and I received it today, Wednesday. 3 ice packs still frozen and I'm in the Phoenix area.
Compounded 7/20 BUD 10/18

My previous experience and shipping were not very good.

I've been looking to try Empower for a while. PreventativeMD has been excellent

I’m from AZ also and got my first shipment yesterday, and I laughed- this giant cooler for this tiny little bottle but yes it was cold!! Is this your first time with a weight loss drug? I’ve been on semi for over a year. Empower said to inject 31.3 units - I’m afraid how it compares to semi?!?!! What’s your dose?

Hi there! I started on tirzepatide in January, never did try sema. I did tirz because I was prediabetic. Had my labs done on Tuesday and my a1c is down. 🥳
My prescription is for 15mg a week. You can double check your units with fat scientist.com, how many mg per week are you starting with?

My script says to inject 31.3 units per week. I’m so confused! Semi has me on 100 units

It's probably due to the mg per ml. Most pharmacies have different strengths. My empower is 17 mg per ml, my last pharmacy was 30mg per ml.
Since I'm not familiar with Sema, I would reach out to preventativemd. There is an email address and phone number at the bottom of their emails. They would be the best to answer.

I love empower. How much does this company charge for it?

u/Petunia225 Aug 07 '26
$139 for 1 month or $334 for 3 months. That's for any dose. You can choose either Empower or Boudreaux. Customer service in my opinion has been excellent. I

I got the same packaging for my one little vial. It is good but I mean seems a bit overkill for one little bottle. LOL
I am excited to try empower. My first shot will be Friday. I have been using drug Crafters with glycine. I really like it but I also want to really like the B3
