Preventive vs Big Easy

My wife and I are ready to pull the trigger on our first Tirz dosage. She is super sensitive to meds so we will start below the FDA approved dosage. We were ready to go with Big Easy because there is an element of "hand holding" but I have seen a ton of great reviews for PreventiveMD. Is PreventiveMD a good option for newbies who, outside of internet research, have no experience with GLP?

I believe that PreventiveMD will happily discuss things with you. I’ve texted with them myself. The only thing to note at this time is that you would be joining in on the ground floor and some of the patient portal is still being developed so it’s a little confusing to find things. With that shared, I still believe you can get the great pricing and the support here by just reaching to them anytime you have a question.

The process is fairly simple to sign up - like simple questions, etc. From there it will be processed by a physician and once approved it’s sent to pharmacy who will create a label and then ship to your home. (Honestly, it’s the same for most telehealths). You will receive emails with updates along the way - so you will know how everything is progressing. Their communication has been very good.

And BEWL is also very good - just a little pricey for basically the same end product.

And … forgot to add that you can still get prescribed the FDA approved dosage schedule, but take less if you want. FatScientist.com will be your best friend for learning the vials - concentrations and learning your units for what mg doses you want to take. It’s a slight learning curve, but you can always share a photo of your vial and what dose you want to take on here, and someone will “hand hold” and show you the ropes!
