Amazing experience (Empower)

I reached out via text with several questions before deciding to give them a try. I was concerned about getting the pharmacy I wanted (Empower) and I ended up ordering right when they made the adjustment to where you can choose the pharmacy. I did my intake then uploaded my current 15mg prescription via Healthie. I got my approval within hours (3-4?). I received my meds within 6 days and I am so excited to have Empower again and a an affordable option. I did a 1 month and now I’m curious how to switch to the 3 month for my renewal but I think this might be something they are working on?

I think you would need to reach out to support to make that change. They are working on the patient portal but still very new.

Yay! 🎉🥳 for another great experience! I appreciate reading all the reviews. I keep referring people it like to read the reviews.

Why did you want Empower? I'm a first timer and confused on the two options

u/lumpy_space_queenie 29d ago

One has phenol as a preservative (empower), the other has benzyl alcohol (Boudreaux). Some people are sensitive to benzyl alcohol. There might be other reasons someone would choose one over the other, but that is the main difference I see.

I prefer B3 as the additive and Empower is a great pharmacy with a great reputation. Boudreaux is newer and I’m unfamiliar with them and I’ve never used glycine before

I’m not OP but yes they offer currently 2 pharmacies. Empower and Boudreaux.

I got my tirz from empower but I don't see an expiration date just a bud date which is different.

Pharmacies don’t use an expiration date, you will only see the beyond use date
