Treatments

Two medicines, reviewed case by case.

Both are antiparasitic medicines, and neither is available without a prescription. Before anything is prescribed, a board-certified physician licensed in the state you're in goes through your history. Rush Pharmacy, which holds a state pharmacy license, dispenses anything the physician prescribes as compounded oral capsules.

Costs and decisions

Every cost in view before you pay.

It's common online to see a low headline price, with the rest added later. Here the full cost is visible up front, and whether you need a prescription at all is up to a physician.

  • All costs shown first. Before checkout you'll see any visit fee, the medication price, shipping and tax.
  • Prescribed before it's paid for. A physician has to issue the prescription before you're charged for any medication.
  • A physician makes the call. When treatment isn't the right choice, you'll hear the reason.

Step by step

Four steps, start to finish.

  1. Fill in the online intake

    Tell us about your health history, the medicines you take now and what you'd like treated. You won't book an appointment or join a video call.

  2. A physician studies your answers

    Board-certified and licensed in your state, they read everything you've shared and can come back to you with follow-up questions. Then they decide whether treatment fits your situation. Most reviews finish within one business day, and being told no is a legitimate result.

  3. Checked, dispensed and shipped

    If your physician prescribes treatment, a pharmacist checks the prescription first. Rush Pharmacy, which is state-licensed, then dispenses the medication and ships it in plain packaging with a tracking number.

  4. Help after it arrives

    Send questions or side-effect reports to your care team or patient support. The clinical team always receives any clinical question.

Sample intake question, for illustration only

Whenever it works for you

From your kitchen table, not a clinic lobby.

Do the intake at whatever hour you like. Most intakes get a physician's review within one business day, and any follow-up questions arrive through the platform instead of at a second appointment.

Ordering antiparasitics online

Your medicine's source is worth checking.

Ivermectin and mebendazole turn up all over the internet, and some sellers are not safe. Here are warning signs the FDA points to, and how we do things differently.

Avoid

Selling without a prescription

When a website will sell you a prescription drug without a doctor's prescription, the FDA counts that as a warning sign of an unsafe online pharmacy.

Avoid

Ivermectin meant for animals

Ivermectin sold for animals is not the same formulation as the versions approved for humans, and the FDA warns people never to take medicine intended for animals.

Avoid

Unlicensed sellers, no U.S. address

Among the FDA's signs of a safe online pharmacy: a license from a state board of pharmacy, plus an address and phone number in the United States.

What we do instead

Every order needs a prescription, and only a board-certified physician licensed to practice in your state can write one after reviewing your intake. The pharmacy that dispenses your medication is named on its label, and our U.S. address and phone number appear on every page.

Who does what. Peoples First Rx and Remedora Inc., our pharmacy and fulfillment partner, are parties to a partnership agreement. Visits are reviewed by board-certified physicians from LocumTele, and every prescription is dispensed and shipped by Rush Pharmacy, which is licensed by the state. Both companies work with Remedora.

Before you ask

Asked often, answered plainly.

A telemedicine platform. It connects you with a physician who is board-certified and holds a license in your state, and the whole visit takes place online. If the physician judges treatment to be medically appropriate, your prescription goes to Rush Pharmacy, a state-licensed pharmacy, which dispenses your medication and sends it, in plain packaging, to your door. The medical care comes from physicians and the dispensing from a pharmacy; Peoples First Rx is the platform that gives you access to both, not a medical practice or pharmacy in its own right. The company behind Peoples First Rx is Pursuance Shore LLC, and Peoples First Rx is its trade name.

Everything begins with a detailed intake form online, where you cover your past health, current medicines, allergies and what brings you to us; next, a physician whose license covers your state goes through it and either messages you with follow-up questions on the platform or makes a decision. Expect most reviews to wrap up within one business day, and you hear the outcome whichever way it goes.

No. Each prescription for ivermectin or mebendazole written through Peoples First Rx is filled with compounded oral capsules. As the FDA puts it, compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, which means the FDA does not verify their safety, effectiveness or quality before they are marketed. Both medicines do exist as FDA-approved products, just not in this form: ivermectin tablets and mebendazole chewable tablets are approved for specific parasitic infections, and using either medicine for another purpose is off-label. Ivermectin is never prescribed here for COVID-19 or any other viral illness. Both medication pages state it plainly, and you will hear it from your physician as well before deciding anything.

Nothing is charged before you have seen the full cost in U.S. dollars, broken out into any visit fee, the medication price, tax and shipping if it applies. There is no membership fee, every order is a one-time purchase, and your card is not charged for any medication until a physician has prescribed it. A price posted in error won't be enforced against you; we will cancel that order and give back anything you were charged.

It travels with tracking in plain packaging, and the outside of the parcel gives no clue about its contents. No order goes out until a pharmacist has checked it and it has been sealed in tamper-evident packaging. Tracking information is sent to you when the pharmacy releases the order. If a package shows up damaged, our Shipping Policy tells you what to do, along with everything else about delivery.

Our service area covers 49 states (every U.S. state except California), and peoplesfirstrx.com/states-we-serve/ names each one; it does not include Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico or any other U.S. territory, and orders never ship to addresses abroad. Where you are matters because your visit can only be completed by a physician whose license covers your physical location at that time. That is why the intake confirms your location first, before you pay for any medication.

No, and we set it up that way deliberately. A prescription happens only if the physician reviewing your file concludes it is medically appropriate for you; if they conclude otherwise, they explain why and, where they can, recommend a better next step. What your visit buys is time and professional judgment from a licensed physician, never a prescription, a certain medication, a certain dose or a certain outcome. Promising someone a prescription ahead of any physician review is not the practice of medicine, which is why no one should guarantee you one.

No. Controlled substances, whatever their schedule, are off the table: none is prescribed, dispensed or shipped by way of this platform. Neither ivermectin nor mebendazole is federally controlled. If a controlled medication is what you are after, we are the wrong service, and we will say so rather than charge you any visit fee.

Neither. Insurance plays no part in paying for care here: we are not an insurance plan and we do not bill insurance; filing a claim with your insurer for you is also not something we can do. Checkout takes credit and debit cards and nothing else, and no invoices are sent. You cover the cost of the visit yourself, and the cost of the medication too if a prescription is issued.

No. This platform is not an emergency service, so call 911 or get yourself to the closest emergency department right away. Nobody monitors messages here around the clock, which means no one on our side can help you in an emergency, and you should never put off in-person care while you wait for a reply online.

Physician licensing, compounded medicines, side effects and complaints are all covered in the complete FAQ

Begin whenever you like.

Online, you answer a short set of health questions. A board-certified physician whose medical license includes your state then reviews your answers, and you get an honest answer about treatment.

The physicians who handle visits practice independently, are licensed in your state and use their own judgment. No one directs what they prescribe or pays them per prescription, and they write a prescription only if treatment is medically appropriate.
