PreventiveMD review

What it is

PreventiveMD is a telehealth service that sells prescription treatments as "protocols," each with its own page. The sermorelin protocol is a nightly injection under the skin, and no oral or nasal form is offered. The page explains the drug well. Sermorelin mimics the hormone that tells the pituitary to release growth hormone, so the body makes its own rather than receiving it directly. It is also candid about the evidence. Sermorelin was once approved for children with growth hormone deficiency, and adult wellness use rests on smaller studies. What ships is compounded, as all sermorelin in the US is today.

How it works

There are two ways in. If you already know you want sermorelin, you pick the protocol and check out in about two minutes. A provider then reviews your order, usually within 24 hours. If you are unsure, a five-minute assessment matches you to options for your goals. After you start, the provider handles monitoring, dose changes and decisions about cycling off. That can include checking IGF-1 or other markers. Orders and subscriptions are managed in a care portal. The page also lists who should not use sermorelin. That includes anyone pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding, and anyone with active or recent cancer without an oncologist's clearance. Severe untreated thyroid disease and uncontrolled diabetes are on the list too.

Pricing transparency

A one-month supply costs $149. A three-month supply costs $417 paid upfront, which works out to about $139 a month and saves $30. PreventiveMD says the price depends only on plan length, never on your dose. So a higher maintenance dose later costs the same as the starting dose. The figure is described as all-inclusive. That covers the provider review, the medication, supplies, shipping and ongoing support, with no membership, consultation or cancellation fees. The three-month plan only saves money if you stay on it, so start on the monthly plan if you are unsure how you will respond. Checkout places a hold on your card rather than a charge. The money is only taken if a provider approves you, and the hold is released if not. Plans then renew automatically at the end of each term until you cancel. Cancel free in the care portal before your renewal date to skip the next cycle. Refunds follow timing. Before provider review and pharmacy fulfillment, you get your money back. Once the pharmacy has started on an order, it is non-refundable. Damaged, defective or wrong medication is the exception if reported within seven days. Insurance is not billed, but PreventiveMD will give you a receipt for an HSA or FSA claim.

Branded vs compounded

Compounded sermorelin is not FDA-approved as a finished drug, and PreventiveMD says so plainly. It is prepared for each patient under a physician's prescription. The page does not publish a vial size, strength or dose, because the provider sets the dose. It does explain how to read your own label, so you can work out how many units to draw. Common side effects listed are injection site redness or soreness, headache, flushing and vivid dreams. PreventiveMD also warns that long-term use may affect blood sugar. It says to seek emergency care for signs of an allergic reaction.

Pros and watch-outs

The evidence behind what PreventiveMD prescribes

We grade the molecules, not the marketing. Here is what the human data actually shows for each thing on their menu.

• Does sermorelin work? What the trials actually measured

  Sermorelin reliably makes your pituitary release growth hormone. Beyond that the evidence is one placebo-controlled trial in 19 adults from 1997 — lean body mass up in men only, nothing in women, and no effect on sleep in either.

• Is Sermorelin FDA-Approved? The Real Answer

  Sermorelin was FDA-approved once, under a different name, and that approval is gone. What is sold today is compounded — which is legal, but not the same thing as approved.

• Sermorelin Injections: Technique and Supplies

  What subcutaneous injection generally involves — site rotation, needle length, and sharps disposal — drawn from the published injection-technique literature and described in general terms.
