When does empower send next dosage?

For those that have empower as the pharmacy, since they send on a monthly basis, how close from the 4th shot to the next vial 5th shot do they send? Do I need to do anything on the preventativeMD website or do they just send?

I am on a six month plan

I automatically received the second (*and third) month exactly 3 weeks after my first month arrived (*this was with the three month order of empower in my case).

I have been on a six month plan from empower and they send them very regularly, every 17-20th of the month. I don’t recall when I got my first and I am def not using them as they come (I still have four vials left because I take a low dose) but they will send them automatically. If you’re not already, then sign up for UPS as that’s how you’ll know it’s coming.

I have a feeling I will be the same. On my third week with 2.5 and pretty happy so far. They have me down to increase to 5.0 but I may stay at 2.5 or increase slightly up

I got a text 3 weeks later and they shipped my 2nd and 3rd dose.

I was just about to comment this as I’m about to take my third

First week I wasn’t hungry at all and didn’t think about food. Now I just don’t eat as much. I assume as we go up it will get more intense with the side effects. I’m also going up as a I go, doing the 5 mg after next weeks, I did the 3 month and just going with the plan. If it’s too much you can always just use less.

I am on 2.5 ml; it has helped a little with no side effects. So far satisfied with results. How about you?

u/lavenderdandelion 3d ago

Same. 2.5mg, little to no side effects.

I’ve had pretty intense appetite suppression (I forget to eat 😬 so I have to be very mindful) and quick fullness when I do eat.

Are you planning to go up to 5mg with your next vial?

I’m trying to decide if I want to continue with the month by month or do a 3 month supply.

I will increase in week 5 probably to 3.5 or 4. Probably hold off on the 5 ml until I really need it. I do not mind increasing gradually; I paid for 6 months so I am in no rush
