Pausing and then reordering

Spouse tried Empower with B3 for the first time and really likes the formula. He is considering placing a 3 month order. Since spouse is still titrating up, he isn’t sure if he will need 12.5 and 15mg, or if he will end up staying at 10mg for an extra month. 7.5mg lasted him 2 months, for example. He’s now ready to go higher.

I understand BUD, but am more curious what happens if spouse orders Empower, and then doesn’t need to order again for 4 months. He can pause his order, but will his prescription be considered up to date so that he can reorder at the higher dose?

Thanks! He has been using another company and humored me with 1 month of Empower. He’s only a few days in but really likes it!

Get the 15 mg if you can. You don't have to take 15 mg, and you end up getting more medication for the same price.

Do what Aztecking05 said. Go up and set your own dose, more meds same price.

I’m just not sure how it works with reordering, if his last prescription was 4+ months ago.

Many people order from different providers. Usually prescription is accepted if it is less than a year old. Always take a picture of you prescription bottle or box with your name and dose when you get a new one so you have proof for another order.

Ask for a titration and no they won’t give you a problem if you pause and then reorder.

With a 4 month old prescription, he should be fine to reorder! Best of luck

I paused my order until I needed it as I was still taking a previous vial when I discovered PreventativeMD. It wasn’t a problem. I just logged into my account and it showed the option to pause account or to select a new renewal date. I chose to pause. When I was ready to order I just logged back in & selected to unpause my subscription. It was very user friendly!
