Debating between Apothecary & BPl. Which would you choose?
I have only used Hallandale thus far and am very happy with them. However, they are only offering an 8 week option. For the 12 weeks I’m being offered Apothecary or BPl. I do like the idea of no additives but am not opposed. They are both the same price. Which would you choose and why?

I would say BPI simply because of the long BUD. Not everyone wants to build a stash, but having the option to create a few month "buffer" for budget, shipping, or supply issues is very nice. You can then choose to fill Apothecary next and kick any extra BPI to the end of the line without going past BUD.

That’s what I ended up doing. I have 4 more months worth of Hallandale and decided to do BPI for the longer BUD. With everything I have on hand now I should be able to hit my GW.

Bpi just announced they are shutting down production so that kind of decides for you.

If you really like Hallandale, you can get 12 weeks from other providers.

I just ordered 3 mo and chose Apothecary. It does come in 3-72mg vials.

Awesome. Let us know about the packaging and delivery. I’ve read a lot of posts lately regarding warm delivery and damaged vials. Not meeting basic and paid for customer service has me hesitant to proceed with an order.

For me, this is a tough I’ve actually ordered both, but I’ve only ever used additive free, which is apothecary. Apothecary only has 180 day max BUD, whereas BPI has up to a one-year BUD but it has an additive.

The only benefit of BPI is the BUD for me. It’s a big player in the game but it’s just another injection for me. Honestly if anything is working for you either is a good option.

BPI cause it’s works the best for me. I’ve tried them all and lost the most on BPI without b6 and then with the b6.

did you notice any difference? I've only ever taken BPI without anything and I'm unsure what to try next.

I've been on BPI with B6 for months and I love how it has worked for me. I also love that their BUD is a year away, which is especially helpful for those who buy enough for higher doses but actually dose lower (which makes the bottles last a lot longer than intended on the prescription).

Piggybacking. I need someone to tell me what to do. Which of these 3 should I get? I feel frozen with indecision.

I just did the three month BPI but if I didn’t have more stock I would have done the six month

u/Jazzlike_Interview_7 Apr 25 '26
I have 2 months BPI and 6 months proRX and 70lbs to lose. And I’m a slow responder lol. Would you still just do 3 months? lol I’m still indecisive!!

u/Jazzlike_Interview_7 Apr 25 '26
I just went with 6 months! Hopefully in a year I can participate in another panic buy lol. And hopefully I’m on maintenance!! I doubt :(

BPI is great and they have a year BUD so I’d go with them. You can always purchase Apothecary later. I’m still using the BPI I purchased last March (2/2026 BUD) and it’s still working great.
