+1. Compounding in illegal as of mid February. So by the time you get a prescription, you are looking at one or maybe two months. While you fight with everyone else trying to top off their supply under the wore.  I wouldn’t switch for 1-2 months. [/quote]

This isn’t necessarily the case. The FDA will likely declare an end to the shortage, but whether to continue allowing compounded equivalents is not locked into that decision. If they do disallow compounded equivalents the compounders will add supplements and different modalities that will allow them to continue offering compounded weight loss options.[/quote]

This is incorrect. The FDA has already declared an end to the shortage and set an end date for the “orderly transition” away from compounds in Feb. or March, depending on they type of compounding pharmacy you use. And no, you cannot add a random Vitamin to a drug under patent and turn it into a generic that can be compounded. If you could, patents would be worthless. Your expensive patented oncology drug— plus Vitamen K— for 20% of the cost. You really think it works that way?

Worth noting: when I updated my coupon for 2025 yesterday, the Eli Lilly was selling vials for the brand name directly to the public, as well as pre-filled pens. I’m unclear about how many injections a vial will cover, but it appears to be at a discount. Which makes sense. A lot of the shortage was the pre-filled pens, not the drug itself.
