I get my TRT script testosterone through OptumRX, mail order pharm for United Health Care health insurance. This is in the US.
Today they had UPS try to deliver my meds and apparently now the FDA has made it so that they have to get an adult's signature when delivering the drug. Seems they are treating it now like it is an Opioid. Im wondering how long it will be before they just ban both all together.
Of course I wasn't here to answer the door so they didn't leave it and will have to come back tomorrow and try again. We all know how frustrating it can be to have a delivery like this because you don't know what time of day they will come. Basically have to be home 24 hours that day and ready to run to the door at a moments notice. Ive been getting my meds like this now for 10 years, ever since my heart attack and this is a brand new development. Just something new now to add to my frustration.
So now any brothers here like me that order lawfully through a mail order are going to have to go through this shit. I could go to a local pharmacy and pick it up but then they will only give me 30 days worth, mail order they do 90 days. The price locally is a lot higher too. I may just end up doing the local pharm thing after this annoyance.
Anybody else have this happen to them yet? Im pretty sure its a federal FDA thing, so if you haven't had it yet it is coming next order for you. I also noticed that it took them about 2-3x longer to process my script too. Usually a med is processed and out in the mail in 2 days or so, this crap took them like 7 business days to get in the mail and then I have to deal with this bullshit.
Oh, and now they are considering syringes over the counter and I have to pay for them. So apparently any Tom Dick or Harry can now walk into a pharmacy and buy syringes without a script. Probably a by product of the heroin epidemic. What the hell is this country coming to, lol!
