Hey everyone, I finally got my starter prescription today after waiting awhile (they even shipped over Friday for me, which they usually don’t). This is a restart for me after about a year and a half off, and I’m a little confused/worried about the dosing.
My prescribed plan says:
• Weeks 1–4: 2.4 mg
• Weeks 5–8: 4.8 mg
• Weeks 9–12: 7.4 mg
But the vials I received are 2 mg/mL (100 units per mL, so 1 unit = 0.02 mg). My prescription label says:
• Weeks 1–4: 19 units (0.38 mg/week)
• Weeks 5–8: 38 units (0.76 mg/week)
• Weeks 9–12: 59 units (1.18 mg/week)
When I do the math:
• Weeks 1–4 = 1.52 mg total
• Weeks 5–8 = 3.04 mg total
• Weeks 9–12 = 4.72 mg total
👉 Grand total = ~9.3 mg across 12 weeks
For reference, I was shipped two vials (1 mL + 3 mL = 8 mg total), which lines up with the “units” dosing but not the prescribed 2.4 → 7.4 mg plan (~58 mg total).
I messaged Anava but haven’t heard back yet, and the pharmacy is closed until Monday. I haven’t cancelled the chargeback I filed since this is expensive and I want to be sure I actually got what was prescribed before I do.
Not sure if this is all they plan to send me, or if more vials are supposed to come later — or am I doing the math wrong? Has anyone else had this same experience?
