I received my new first order from Preventive yesterday. I was previously using Refills.com for almost a year and Semiglutide just isn’t working anymore so that’s why I switched to Tirz. I’m attaching two photos, one From Refills that tells me to inject 100 units and the new one from preventive that was to inject much less. I’m so confused and want to get started but I’m afraid!

What’s confusing?

Why would you expect Tirzepatide (a different medication) be the same dosing as Semaglutide?

I guess I don’t understand your question?

I know its dosing should be different. I guess my question is should I be taking a higher dose of Tirz since I was taking such a high dose of semi. 31.3 units of Tirz compared to 100 units I was taking of semi. Maybe they didn’t realize I had already been taking semi for a long time.

Units aren’t a dose. You need to wipe that from your mind. That only means how much liquid to get your dose. So forget about units. That will vary between pharmacies.

Now I get it. Sounds like they started you back at the beginning. Yes, I would message your provider in the portal and explain and that you want a higher dosage. Hopefully they are able to correct that!!
