question from a user
Why can't I seem to find the gels on any ugl providers? Is it hard to make compared to injectables? I'm prescribed the gels but they will only give me 1 bottle at a time which lasts about 3 weeks at my current dose. Would really like to have a back up supply in case of emergency.

In general, even in normal medicine, gels are more expensive to make. The volume & then later the shipping of said higher volume tend to add to the cost a fair bit as well. For UGLs, my guess is they don't want their packages seized crossing customs & it's pretty easy to hide vials in the mail compared to potentially larger things.
For prescribed medications - It could very well depend on your state. Most states allow 90 days of controlled substances to be dispensed at a time. Massachusetts for example is very annoying & only allows 30 days at a time. We honestly hate working with states that limit things to 30 days because it is a lot of additional work on our end, and more of a hassle for the patient.
If it's not one of those few states, then it's just your provider choosing to do it that way.
