question from a user
Who are your pharmacy’s? How do you choose them?
AlphaMD's Answer
In digital TRT, it's usually best to work with a compounding pharmacy or a pharmacy designed to work with businesses. Local pharmacies like Walgreens are essentially secondhand sellers of medications, which means there's going to be a price increase so that they're able to make a profit.
Working directly with a pharmacy helps reduce that cost & in our case allow us to change our carrier oils if someone has a preference or is allergic to them (rare but still possible.
We tend to pick who we work with given the available information about them, how trustworthy they are, and their prices. For us, keeping prices low is important. A great example is some ancillary medications for ED like Cialis or Viagra, which some men want with their treatment. We go through CostPlus instead of our normal pharmacy since they're able to offer those medications at a significantly lower rate.
