How long do the refills last? I would think that even with the cheaper cost of medicine, and the discounted telemedicine visit, it would still be more expensive than seeing a doctor annually and getting refills for all prescriptions for the rest of the year without needing additional appointments. But perhaps I'm underestimating how cheap these platforms are (both the meds and the docs)?

They aren't that cheap. But when your doctors appointment is $120+/each, they don't need to be that cheap, just cheaper. They're like 20% cheaper all-in compared to the traditional way, and you don't need to leave the house.
Plus many of these places specialize in stigmatized products like anti-bolding, ED meds, anti-depressants, etc.
