“I am going on 3 months with Altrx and it hasn't been bad. I read these negative reviews and I find it hard to believe that we are all with the same company. They always respond to my messages with in 24 hours. I receive my shipment of tirzepatide with in a couple days after I follow up. Plus they haven't bumped my price it's been $148 since I started. I like Altrx. Plus I've lost 10 pounds. The only side effect I have is being sleepy but it's getting better.”

“I do not understand how everyone has all of these “negative” reviews. I was skeptical at first due to reading through these but I am very happy with this company. 3 of my other coworkers use them as well and they are happy as well.”

“Great company that takes care of my needs promptly. I'm seeing a lot of negative reviews but I can't help but think they may be coming from another provider. This company is great and takes care of me and my family quickly and they are very customer service oriented. My order came in correct and even after taking a break, was able to use the medication at have at a different dose. They didn't try to sell me another beginner dose. A+”
