Why readers look for an alternative
- Programs run one, two, four or six months, and the FAQ says you can't cancel once a program starts; leaving early can cost $50 or $100 per unshipped portion
- No month-to-month price is published: the advertised rates are six-month rates, and the cost at a higher dose isn't shown
- Doesn't name its pharmacy or list the states it serves
- FDA issued Ivim Services LLC dba Ivim a warning letter in February 2026; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
