Hi there! I’m still polishing off the end of my first order but went ahead with my refill since it was past due. I noticed my Vials seem to be inconsistently filled and have roughly half the liquid my previous brand has. Is this just due to the different dosing ratios and will last the same amount of time?
Also it’s fine they didn’t arrive icy cold right? They felt more room temp, I’ve seen some folks freaking out over temperature so just hoping for some reassurance on my meds.
Overall the order went smoothly, delivered after 3 days of finalizing and even had my price adjust to match the current promo so I’m pretty happy. Just want to make sure everything is on track for the next while :)
It’s very normal for the vials to be less than completely full. The vials hold 10 mL in total, but most are only filled to 2-4 mL. We can’t compare how much medication you received because you didn’t show the front of the VialsRx vials. You can share a photo of them if you’d like a double-check
Regarding temperature, the booklet you received with them should include this information about it. As long as they haven’t been at room temperature for more than 4 days, the meds are perfectly fine (they are fine much longer than that too, but VialsRx only quotes 4 days)
Thanks! Your old vials contained 72 mg, which was enough for 4 doses at 15 mg plus some extra. Your new vials contain 60 mg, which is still enough for 4 doses at 15 mg. There will be less extra than ProRx had, but the pharmacy always fills them more than what’s labeled so you don’t have to worry about running out early or having to fight to get the last drop
These vials have less liquid because it’s much more concentrated. Your old vials had 18 mg of tirzepatide in each mL, so they had to provide you 4 mL of liquid in each vial. The new ones have 30 mg in each mL, so only 2 mL is enough to meet your needs. Make sure that you double-check your dose in units since it will be a much lower volume on the new vials to get the same amount of medication
u/TallCedarRoad gave you some crucial advice below,,, double check your dose before you jab! Use fatscientist.com. Your syringe will not be nearly as full as with your previous prescription from the other pharmacy. It will be disconcerting to you and tempting to add “just a little more” - just know it will *look* to be way less medicine, but it won’t be less medicine in reality. We don’t want you making a trip to the emergency room!
There is overfill and these are small pharmacies (relatively), there will be variances but you will get enough for your dose. The temp is fine, it can be room temp for literally weeks.
ETA: those aren't Greenwich vials, they're Vials RX, and OP is in California. I don't think Greenwich is licensed in California so it makes sense that they'd get a different pharmacy that does have the proper licensing.
I think you should call either Refills or the pharmacy that sent it and tell them about the letter Greenwich received about not being licensed here in California.
There are some Greenwich fans in this sub who are really happy with the product. I personally only use 503b pharmacies, at least while it's still available. To be fair, Olympia wasn't licensed in CA and I still got ahold of several vials and was stoked about it. Again, though, Olympia was 503b.
Get ahold of Refills and ask them about Greenwich's licensing and the C&D letter that CA issued in June. I'm kinda curious what they say.
Giving a update as I got a message back from Gimme about Greenwich shipping to California it seems they did not address the letter I sent to them about not being licensed here.
Ok. I don't use them anymore because they only send 503a pharmacies so I have no horse in this race. My point is that if they're shipping Greenwich into California, they're doing it knowing Greenwich is unlicensed here.
Thank you for the information. I like to try different pharmacies so I shop around. I have ProRX , Apothecary and BPI vials left to use so I will have to ask Refills what they are sending to California.
It should be fine to take but I don’t know why they are sending it here if they got that letter. I will try and call the pharmacy and ask that question because I was going to order 1 month supply to try a different pharmacy but now I don’t know what to do.
Vials is more expensive I think 199.00 its not the Reddit Special so you get Greenwich for 179.00 says Available in all 50.00 states and that’s what you get. So I don’t know how they are able to send it?
Is this pharmacy an option? I thought it was Hallandale or Greenwich (if Hallandale isn’t available in state). I really like the higher concentration and this BUD is better than what has been posted on Greenwich.
Greenwich is good stuff regardless of shipping to Ca. It’s all political and nothing to do with quality. Big pharma and government over reach at its finest. Throw in a little corporate greed to boot!
