Frequently asked questions

Answered plainly.

The things people ask most, before they start.

  • How does ordering work?
    Find the treatment you're after here, then continue to the pharmacy that dispenses it. You'll finish on their site: a short medical intake, a licensed physician's review, and shipping to your door if they approve it. There is no cart on this site and nothing to check out here.
  • Do I need an appointment?
    No. The review is done online from what you submit. If the prescriber needs more, or your state requires a live visit for a particular medication, the pharmacy arranges that before anything is dispensed.
  • What if the physician says no?
    You aren't charged. The pharmacy reviews before dispensing, so if a treatment isn't appropriate for you — or they want to talk first — nothing ships and nothing is billed.
  • Is everything here prescription-only?
    Yes. Every item AMA lists requires a prescription, which is exactly why it's bought through a pharmacy rather than added to a cart here. Some are prescribed off-label; where that's the case the product page says so.
  • Why are prices shown as “from”?
    Pharmacies sell plans rather than single units, and a treatment often costs considerably less on a longer program. The figure shown is the entry price; the pharmacy's own product page has the current plans and is the authoritative one.
  • Will this replace what my doctor already has me on?
    No. Tell the prescriber everything you currently take — checking for interactions is part of what their review is for. Keep taking what you've been prescribed unless your own doctor says otherwise.
  • Does AMA see my medical information?
    No. The intake happens on the pharmacy's site and stays with them. Clicking through from here sends no health information about you; AMA only knows that someone followed a link.
