How do I get started with my first shipment?
Your first shipment will include information from your prescribing healthcare provider and the dispensing pharmacy. This may include details about how your medication should be taken, your prescribed dosage, and any instructions your provider has issued for you.
Before using your medication, carefully review all materials included in your shipment. If you have questions about how to take your medication, how often to take it, or whether your dose should change over time, please contact your prescribing provider or the pharmacy for clarification. They can give you guidance based on your specific prescription.
If anything in your instructions is unclear—or if you cannot locate your dosing information—please reach out to Customer Service or your provider for assistance before using the medication.
