Expedited service is slow and full of hassle
I recently ordered a prescription for norethindrone acetate for period delay and was only prescribed 5mg 2x/day from CallonDoc. The standard dose is 5mg 3x/day. Across the hospitals and offices I have worked in and visited as a patient, this is undoubtedly the medical standard. I have never seen or heard otherwise from any GYN, unless there is a contraindication for 3x/day for a particular patient. 2x/day is known to leave risk for breakthrough bleeding and spotting, which is unacceptable to settle for if there are absolutely no contraindications for 3x/day. Very disappointing as I paid extra to have my case expedited and rushed to the pharmacy because I needed this medication very soon. And instead of having what I needed when I needed it, here I was having a back-and-forth with them about the issue. And instead of issuing a new prescription for the full dosage, the provider I finally got a hold of argued that 3x/day is not standard and told me I needed to provide proof that I've been prescribed 3x/day in the past from a GYN. It worked out in the end but the whole process took hours I didn't have to waste if they just provided the STANDARD dosage from the start. I generally don't disagree with doctor's orders since they are the ones who studied medicine, but 3x/day is truly the standard. Ultimately, what I hoped would be a convenient solution turned out to be filled with unnecessary stress and hassle.
