Rapamycin Prescription, Doctors that Prescribe It

#4

Has anyone worked with this person/clinic? Apparently they do telemedicine, so no traveling to get there.

Thanks, Beth

I have a doctor I’d like to approach about the topic of prescribing Rapamycin and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a specific article or set of articles I could share with them before to give them the background on what it is and why I’d want to try it.

Thanks!
Craig

Most doctors are persuaded by human clinical studies, with less interest in animal studies. Be sure to tell him/her that the low dose, periodic dosing (weekly or every two weeks) avoids the bad side effects seen in cancer / transplant applications.

You might start with these pages - they have links (this page has summaries, as well as the links to the actual papers):

Rapamycin Human Studies

How Safe is Rapamycin

Animal Studies / benefits of rapamycin

Healthy Humans Clinical Trials Rapamycin and Risks

And perhaps this video presentation or one like it, by Matt Kaeberlein

Hi Beth, yes he does rapamycin therapy if you don’t mind paying for a telemed appt every 6 months. He also offers a bunch of other services (hormone replacement, peptides, etc etc) so if you just want rapamycin be sure and try to keep him focused on that during your visit.

I believe it was $275 for the initial consult. He’ll work with you on what dose you want to take.

Have you tried PushHealth? Any comment on the service? It seems on their website that they prescribe sirolimus - do they also sell it? Any pricing info?

This is the organization I was able to get a prescription.

#18

To poster “Davin8r”, your doubt is incorrect, as this is who provided me with a prescription.

#20

Did you tell them you wanted sirolimus for anti-aging purposes? Are they requiring you to get blood work? How often are you required to follow up in order to get medication refills?

#21

Yes, I requested rapamycin for anti-aging/ longevity use. I stated very clearly that I am full aware this is off label use and I would be fully responsible. I provided a link to one of Mikhail Blagosklonny published papers.

Just started taking, do not require a refill yet. I assume the refill consultation will cost the same. Cost was around $70.00 for consultation. Prescription was sent to a local pharmacy where I purchased.

Good job! How many pills did they prescribe, and how long will that last you? Any reills?

#23

I asked for 6mg per week{in 2mg tablet’s] one week on, one week off for 3 month.{this is what I asked for] I puchase by the month, 12 tablet’s at a time. This is my first time / course, will review/discuss changing after this course is finished.

#24

I’m really surprised the provider was willing to take on the potential liability. Would be interesting to see if other people have similar luck with different providers in that network. Did he/she seem familiar with sirolimus as an anti-aging med?

I located through this site.

There where two other user/member’s that used this organization and posted information/comments. One person is an MD with a MPH. Scroll upon this thread you could read the postings.
