Processed prescriptions are non-refundable, while Section 7 separately provides proportional refunds for unshipped prepaid months. Confirm which rule and remaining shipments qualify before paying.
Compounded medicines are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are sold. Read the FDA's explanation of the risks.
