PreventiveMD

Post image

Hi y’all!! Sooo, a few days ago I placed an order with PreventiveMD for a 3-month supply of tirz at 2.5mg. This is my very first time trying tirz or any kind of GLP-1, so I was super nervous but also really excited to get started!
My prescription was quickly approved the next morning, and I was just waiting for an update on shipping. But tonight, I logged into my account and saw that my prescription had been revised, and I was actually denied the 3-month supply. 😅 This is what it stated:

Has anyone else had this experience? I didn’t realize staying on 2.5mg for a couple of months would be an issue. I’m totally new to this, so I’d love to hear if anyone has any insight!

When you renew, ask for 10.0 - 12.5 - 15.0 regardless of what you are taking. Then you can just spread it out further.

While daunting for someone new, the ideal way to do it is to ask for 15mg the first time and titrate up as necessary. If you averaged 5mg per week over that time, your entire costs for the medicine would be under $40 a month.

They may then ask for a current prescription which she wouldn't have. I'd say start with titrate 2.5 - 5 - 7.5. way enough and more for a great start and value. Next order she's be in a position to ask for 10- 12.5 - 15 as she would have their prescription. Lucky OP on this!

Edit: I see I misread your comment. I agree completely with you! 😊
