So my doc prescribed me HCG. I told her that we were going to do 250 IU's twice a week. She gave me a 3 month prescription which I gave to the pharmacy. They called and told me since my insurance would not cover it, it was going to be 150.00. I then asked him if it was 3 containers as I've been told and read that once you mix it, it is good for 30 days in the fridge. He said no, it was one container that would be equal to 40 shots. Since one month is 8 shots there is nothing but waste here.

Is there a "size" that should be prescribed for just a single month dosing ?? I'm not really into spending $150.00 for 8 shots each month.....

Thanks

Tony

One month with its 8 shots or 100 shots. You got 10,000 ius to use up or throw out before 30 days.
I have people from Dr's who are having financial issues to goto ADC and get it there. If on HRT then 2000 iu bottle no premix, if doing 350 EVD then get 5,000 ius
 
I'm on trt Matrix .... Sorry, what is 350 "EVD" ?? Is there a certain brand or kind from ADC ?? So there is HCG that you dont have to mix ??, might be better to do it that way ?? ...

thanks
 
I'm just getting started on HCG as well. Also on TRT. my doc is prescribing 1,000iu eod...why is your dose so low? what are you using it for? I have to get "Novarel" apparently, which is a brand name. My co-pay is $180 for 4x's 10,000iu bottles.
 
Just for the record, most of the package inserts state stability for 60 days, though some people will argue that point. Also, as far as that price goes, my pharmacy can't buy it anywhere near that price so if you can get it for that I would. We charge about $200/vial right now and many charge more than that. Since the HCG diet craze the supply and price have been crazy. We could buy it for $40/vial a couple of years ago.

I've kept it for up to two months without a problem. I was once told if it's not cloudy it's good. I don't know how accurate that is, but I was on monotherapy, and my labs were good.
 
thanks everyone for the replies ... helps me figure out what route to go easier ... :)
