Delivery Time:1-2 weeks from ordering
Product Details
You will receive 1, 2, or 3 multidose vials (depending on your order). If approved, your order will be placed with the pharmacy and shipped to your home or office. Please allow up to 1 -2 weeks for the pharmacy to ship your order. New patients that have not been on a prior weight-loss medication must start at the .25mg dose.
There are two different vial strengths, depending on your order. You will receive the number of vials indicated beside the option. Sometimes the pharmacy will send one vial at a time, so if you do not receive both/all of your vials initially, please let the pharmacy know when you are ready for your next vial.
Make sure you carefully follow the instructions on your vial, because one of the vials this pharmacy uses is double the strength of the other vial. To make sure you inject the correct amount, carefully follow directions on the vial you receive. Depending on where you are in your weight loss journey and what you order, you may receive different strength vials.
