Thanks, I believe you have to sign up to their health program which could be very costly.

I wrote to Dr Hilliard about pricing and this is the answer:

"Dr. Hilliard will schedule a consultation with you for $250.00.
The further details can be discussed during the consultation.

Regards,

Iolani"

Isn’t it way too expensive compared to something like Healthspan?

Hi Jan,

If you are looking for the lowest cost solution to getting rapamycin and you care less about individualized / customized medical longevity services that an individual doctor can provide, then you should probably look at the TeleHealth services listed here: Rapamycin Prescription, Doctors that Prescribe It

As with most things in life, the more you pay the better service you tend to get. You can make the choice that makes the best sense for you. Meeting with a doctor and conveying your detailed medical history and unique health considerations may make sense, or if you are very healthy and have no pre-existing medical conditions then perhaps the Telehealth companies make the most sense. All the options are listed at the top of this page for you to consider.

I would like to make a suggestion that the doctors listed also state their customary rapamycin Rx quantity/duration (with refills information if applicable) they offer between visits.

Some of the telemedicine prescribers may allow for 1 month worth of medicine (assuming the 1x weekly dosing common among forum users) while other doctors allow for up to 12 months of refills.

The difference can be extremely important in terms of cost effectiveness and efficiency (assuming all relevant blood markers remain healthy and stable) as many forum members plan to take rapamycin indefinitely.

Rapamycin literature also suggests it can be helpful with some specific medical conditions. If you have one of these conditions, ask for rapamycin for that use. For example, I have hand arthritis that had worsened over the last year. My PCP examined my hands and understood the extent of the problem. I summarized the lit on rapamycin and arthritis. My PCP proposed an experiment. She gave me the low-dose prescription I requested and we set up an appointment (and blood labs) leaving about 14 weeks for the rapamycin to show an effect. We were both astonished at the next appointment—my arthritis pain was greatly reduced and my range of joint motion increased a lot. This is a real quality of life difference for me—there are no effective approved meds for osteoarthritis. My PCP is willing to continue monitoring my relevant serum markers and prescribing my very low dose.

I bought 90 1 mg Sirolimus pills from CVS using GoodRx free coupon for $67. CVS also has their own free coupon program that can be used without insurance for a very similar price and there are other companies similar to GoodRx.

A great effect. What dose are you prescribed?

In my case 5 mg once a week seems sufficient. There may be a variety of reasons for differences in the dose needed. In the Pearl study women seemed to get more of an response with the low dose. Although the authors in an interview seemed to suggest a gender difference in response, I wonder if it could have been weight also or instead. Their numbers were small. And I think the WOMAC score (classically assess pain etc in OA) they used was a test applied to all respondents whether they had OA or pain or not. More of the women may have had OA and thus been more responsive.

eudoctor.org seems to have shut down. Their website is unreachable and their phone number is de-registered. Maybe this has already mentioned above but this is a very long thread so I quick-scrolled to the bottom.
So I’m looking for a doctor within EU that will prescribe. Not interested in having the actual pills send here, just the prescription to bring to a Swedish pharmacy. Grateful for any advice.

I was a patient of Dr. Alan Green for 4 1/2 years, but unfortunately had to find a new Rapamycin doctor. Using
the information at the top of this thread I set up an appointment with Dr. Steven Warren in Utah. He does telehealth visits all over the US, and maybe outside the US too.

My appointment with him today was awesome! He’s very friendly, and so knowledgeable on a wide range of topics. It was so nice to talk with a physician who understands, uses, and prescribes lots of “non-traditional” treatments such as peptides and methylene blue. I could have talked with him for hours!

If you’re needing to find a rapamycin/anti-aging doctor I would highly recommend him!

USA and Europe: My experience with Dr. Grant Fraser for rapamycin and more.

I tried the EU telemedicine app EUDoctor (eudoctor.org) for weeks to get a prescription, but their appointment calendar wasn’t working and they didn’t respond to messages. Even if I got a prescription from them, Rapamycin/Sirolimus is still expensive in Europe and it can be hard to fill a Sirolimus prescription in several countries. I live in Germany and was traveling to the US anyway and a colleague mentioned Dr. Fraser, who many of you will have seen also posts to rapamycin.news. I got a telemedicine appointment with him within days.

Unlike user reports about EUDoctor (prescription with absolutely no consultation), Dr. Fraser was very thorough. He gave me a Sirolimus prescription for tablets and also for a topical rapamycin formulation for skin aging/rejuvenation. He even actually reads the online intake surveys that patients fill out in advance of a consultation and noticed another condition that I entered. He took it upon himself to do some research and found a treatment option that I had missed - which is saying something, since I led biomedical research (in other areas) before I retired, and I had a PubMed search alert running on this condition and its treatments.

He otherwise ensured that I was checking other important boxes for health and longevity, asking about various key blood testing measures of health/disease risk, as well as health habits, and he had several additional helpful suggestions. I was impressed with Dr. Fraser in every way and was very happy to have a doctor who worked with me proactively to meet my needs and didn’t need convincing (and knows more than I do!) about longevity measures. Dr. Fraser was also very accommodating and provided an excellent “medical necessity” letter, in case I got stopped by German customs bringing in Sirolimus for off-label use (I didn’t get stopped). His fee for the thorough consultation (a total of four prescriptions, the customs letter and some follow-up communcation) was quite fair.

Dr. Faser is licensed in AL, AZ, CA, FL, KY, TN, and WA. I had my telemedicine appointment with him from Germany and filled his prescriptions in California (e.g., Sirolimus tablets) and in Texas for the topical rapamycin cream (at Doyle’s Professional Pharmacy for the compounding in Houston, Texas - they mailed the cream to me in California). BTW: I was also very happy with Doyle’s topical rapamycin experience, friendliness and professionalism.

I got the Sirolimus prescription filled at a CVS Pharmacy. I just mentioned to the pharmacist that I wanted him to apply the GoodRx discount and he happily did - no need for the GoodRx “coupon” printout I had brought. (To check https://www.goodrx.com/ prices from abroad, use a VPN with location set to the USA.) The price with the GoodRx discount is now so low (0.6 to 0.75 $/mg, depending on prescription size) that I wouldn’t recommend anyone order rapamycin from India, much less from China, unless you are on a very, very tight budget: No risk of import issues or quality issues.

BTW: Dr. Fraser just sent an email to his patients saying that he’s still taking on new patients. I can wholeheartedly recommend him.
