Lol. The courts will nip that in the bud within the year.

My med spa has said no problems expected with their compounds. They add B12.

Best line ever is above. Be hopeful and smart!!!! Stock up if you can and don’t switch to an inferior medication. Ozempic.and wegovy and semaglutide in general are not as good as Tirzepatide/mounjaro/sepbound!! Ni comparison. Use zappy or unique health or a local doctor. But I dont think it’s going away!!!

Zappy still ships Tirzepatide. It comes from Hallandale. They offer 3, 6 or 9 month supplies.

My source says their pharmacy includes B3 and not to worry, no supply issues expected.

My healthcare provider may have just received a huge shipment of compounded tirz and will be giving me a 6 month supply at our appointment. I also placed a 3 vial order from slim down RX and I think it will ship. You’ll be able to get it online! Visit the Reddit threads, be hopeful and smart.
I am on 2.5 mg TIRZ and have lost 15 lbs in 8 weeks with very few side effects. Going from 175 bmi of 30 to 145 goal weight. Work out a ton. Hydrate and eat well. 100 mg protein per day. I plan to be on it for 8 more weeks hopefully and then taper off.
I also do believe compounding pharmacies will find ways to make this work or the shortage will return and emergency use come back.

Slimdown RX is no longer taking patients. Something is up and I bet it's the forced end to compounding.
Is this a dr getting you 6 months worth? I can't find it anywhere.

Anyone know of online pharmacies still shipping compounded Tirzepatide?

So if everyone starts resorting to brand name mounjaro again won't it cause another shortage and bring back the compounding pharmacies?

I think that's unlikely to be honest. These compounding pharmacies have built a huge business but they always knew it could end in an instant.
Eli Lilly wants to control the process completely and will use every legal resource to end compounding. The pharmacy would have to use something other than tirzepatide to be able to sell it and then it wouldn't really work for weight loss.
The shift will then go to semaglutide until that is no longer allowed to be compounded.
Some pharmacies like HERS are already switching to other meds like Metformin and Naltrexone but any dr can prescribe that through insurance for much less than these online pharmacies charge.

I wish the pharmaceutical companies would just charge a reasonable amount out of pocket and they'd have millions of people buying it at that point. Right now, not everyone has insurance coverage and who can really afford $1200 a month forever?

I started on SGL and didn’t react so they moved me to compound Tirz. My weight has finally started to move slightly. I’m not sure what will happen at my next weekly appointment. I’m paying top dollar and was considering trying to find an online source to save $, but that’s blown now. I’m not sure what to do if they start charging even more.

I'm guessing that now that compounded Tirzepatide is going away, many of us need a new plan and semaglutide seems like the next logical step.
My pharmacy said they might be banned as early as tomorrow from sending out Tirzepatide.

I've made an appointment with my dr but I'm dreading this. I was finally free of side effects like nausea from Tirzepatide and now I'll have to start over with Semaglutide. And who knows how long that will be on the market.

I also hear Semaglutide doesn't work as well.

Pretty frustrating.

Has anyone switched meds? How did you do?
