Many with life-threatening medical conditions have been facing this for years. Now everyone who wants to lose weight is suddenly an activist lol.

It will be yanked away within a couple of months if not within weeks. Some compounding pharmacies have already stopped selling, most have stopped taking on new scripts.

No, it's not criminal. It's actually going to be criminal to knock off the patented formula through compounding, thereby robbing Lilly and Novo of deserved profits that they earned by investing in and developing life changing, miraculous drugs. People don't deserve access to the drug for free. If that were actually policy, we wouldn't be getting such incredible innovations because there wouldn't be a financial incentive for companies (and brilliant people) to develop them. Compounders don't get to keep ripping off the pharmaceutical companies who own the patents now that there is ample supply to go around, to those who will pay for it. It's like anything else. A company invents something awesome and you want it? Buy it. Don't complain that it's criminal for the company to charge so much for a product they invented.

can someone point to the rule or reg that is ending or stopping - or tell me what is actually happening?

You can order directly from the pharmaceutical companies - $400 for a month's supply, which is better than $1500 from the pharmacy.

But if they don’t - can you imagine the Oscars next year? They are going to look like a reunion special for The Whale.

No, those folks will get doctor prescriptions to the brand.

How much do you pay for them and what are you on?

0.5 mg now. I paid about $250 for 10 weeks.

How much do you pay for your computer tirzepitide?

Semaglutide is still around for two months. If you order ASAP, you can try a month and then get 6 month supply. But you need to start in the next few days to make this work. I'm hoping there are more price reductions coming for name brands but I am ordering a year's worth of compounded tirzepatide just in case.

You would want to order one month just to see how you react before investing in 6 months.
Tirzepatide is better than semaglutide for most but you won't have time to order that.

They will be phased out by June.

I dont want to start on a weight loss drug only to have it yanked away.
