[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as people buy them they will never go away. They are cheap and easy to get and they work. Why would they go away?[/quote]

they can only be legally sold when there’s a shortage. The manufacturers are working hard to get the FDA to remove them from the shortage list. When that happens it will be illegal to sell the compound .[/quote]

This is correct based on my research. However, I suspect compounders will add vitamins (b12, etc) and try to get around it. I’m sure there will be litigation but it will take years. Then there’s always the possibility of ordering the drug(s) from China or Brazil where (I read) the patent for ozempic/wegovy (semaglutide) is set to expire. The bottom line is I think there are too many people on compounded versions that they won’t be able to successfully enforce shutting it down. [/quote]

Do people here feel comfortable ordering compounds from China and Brazil?[/quote]

Hell no. [/quote]

I am taking compounded semaglutide and it's going well, but no, I would not buy compounded meds from another country.  If I have to, i will fly to Europe and buy the name brand meds and fly back.[/quote]

I’m the OP of the china and Brazil thread. I wouldn’t order compounded from there but I would order the name brand or generic equivalent. Honestly, it would be cheaper to go oversees to purchase and bring back. If I had to do that, I absolutely would. [/quote]
