Kinda confused by what the value prop for the GERD product is when 1) PPIs are available OTC/much cheaper via Amazon or Costco (even if you want Rx dosing, you can just double up OTC); 2) There's a minimal clinical difference between an OTC PPI and an Rx PPI apart from dosing; 3) Even if you want the Rx PPI, there's a much smaller barrier to getting that prescription compared to migraine/hair loss drugs as most PCPs/mid levels can easily prescribe them/there's relatively much less stigma around PPIs.

Am I missing something? From a clinical standpoint, I don't see the point, but maybe someone else has insights from a patient perspective.

Curious if Thirty Madison has its own pharmacy? Or do they contract with a third-party like Truepill under the hood?
