Before you leave Gentle Health
- Canceling
- Gentle Health does not offer cancellation at any time. FAQ: "Cancellation stops future charges and shipments, but charges already made, including the current month's, are not prorated or refunded." Before treatment starts "nothing is charged".
- Minimum commitment
- Compounded: two-month minimum ("you're billed when you start and again one month later"), then "after each refill, you can cancel 30 days after you request it." Brand-name care: "No minimum, cancel any time".
- Refunds
- Terms: "After an order or prescription is sent to the pharmacy: refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis." "Whenever you cancel, it takes effect immediately and stops future billing, but the remainder of the current billing month is not refunded."
- Pharmacies
- AllMedRx Specialty Pharmacy, Premium Compounding Pharmacy and Absolute Pharmacy fill Gentle Health's prescriptions. A new seller writes its own prescription and sends it to its own pharmacy, so expect a new vial and check its concentration before the first dose.
- Price before intake
- Gentle Health shows its prices before the medical questionnaire. So do Live Vital, Ivim Health and bmiMD, among 12 here.
- Further reading
- To set Gentle Health's terms against other sellers', see the cancellation and refund index. Before a first fill from a pharmacy other than AllMedRx Specialty Pharmacy, run the six public checks on an online pharmacy.
