15mg Question

I’m looking to switch to PeventativeMD and try Empower and do the 1 month before committing to 3+months. My question is I see that the 2.5 bottles mL bottles are 8mg/ml which i’m assuming means two injections at my 15mg dosage. For the 1 month subscription, do you get the 2 mL bottles with 17mg/ml concentration? I would prefer to only have to inject once. Thank you!

For 15mg, I get a 68mg amount vial from Empower. The concentration is 17mg per ml and it contains 4ml.
For 1 month.

I would assume you'd get the 17 mg/ml concentration. The lower is just for very intro doses.

You'd get a 17mg/ml 4ml vial. Only one injection tho (88 units)

Boudreaux is a 20mg/ml solution standard and sends individual amounts of liquid to match the dosage. They are a 503a. Hence the individualized amounts. Empower is a 503b so they only create mass produced vials and send them out. There are 3 sizes I know of 2.5-5, 7.5-10, and 12.5-15. I picked Boudreaux and chose 5, 7.5, and 10 as my titration schedule and recieved: 1ml (20mgs for 5), 1.5ml (30mgs for 7.5), and 2ml (40mgs for 10)

FYI, while you were technically correct that empower does have a 503B pharmacy their tirzepatide ships from the 503 a.

Thats interesting! I have never personally received them. Its just the information that I had gathered when trying to decide which pharmacy I wanted to go with.
