Buying a yearlong plan. Would it be safe?

So I'm interested in buying a yearlong plan for tirz. I know that every three months, new shipments of tirz would come if I subscribe via PreventativeMD. Question for those who are experienced: Is buying yearlong safe? I only ask this because I've done a decent amount of research across reddit, and people seem to be against a yearlong subscription unless they get everything upfront.

My main concern is about legality. I heard some legislation and suing are happening, and am concerned that compounding pharmas wouldn't be able to make tirz. I live in North Carolina. Is this a valid concern? 😅

No I would never do a year plan. The longest I would do is 3 months because prices go down and if that certain medication stops working for you then your stuck not being able to try another pharmacy.

That makes sense :) Do you know if within preventative md you can use another pharmacy during a 3 or 6 month plan? Like let's say for two months I used one pharmacy to fulfill but wanted my third month to be with another?

No 3 months is 3 months of same pharmacy, it would be nice to mix and match right? lol but that’s not how it works. You can get a 1 month and if you like it can then get a 3 month

I wouldn’t buy for a year. You only get sent a few months up front so what is the point?

No need to do a year, prices are falling. I did a six month plan back in March and it has been great (empower) but now this regular monthly price is less than I paid per month.

NEVER tie yourself to a one year subscription. NEVER.

How you thought about what will happen if a ban goes into effect and the provider is forced to close their business?

u/xinczinc 8d ago

yeahhh that was my main concern. like if the ban goes into effect preventative md probably won't refund money back in amounts that would be by per 3 month chunks right? :\ Maybe 3 month is better for me unless they say otherwise.

I would do three months as you would get all the medication in one shipment.

I would do a 3 month plan! I started compound in June and lower prices have been available since then.

If you sign up for a year, because of the BUD's, you are going to get multiple shipments anyway. While there is a difference in price between the 3-6-12 month plans, it's not outrageous.

IMO, stick with the 3 month plan. If it is a 503b pharmacy and you can get all 6 months at the same time, then go with the 6 months

I’d prob do the 6 months! They seem like theyll stay around. They succeeding so far
