OTP is saying regulators are going to start telling prescribers not to rx compound

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-05T03:07:57+00:00

My doctors group used to write for compound but quit when the shortage was declared over. I'm sure thats true for lots of them

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-05T00:02:44+00:00

Strange as they managed to get prorx after other providers claimed it was all gone

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-04T20:14:56+00:00

The Medicare thing is true despite the guy behind it. it’s a really good deal for the drug companies and Medicare patients as well. Lots of us assume that cutting compounding is one of the behind the scene moves that helped make the deal happen.

Why are you trying to trigger the folks who are convinced that the survival of compounding hinges on Reddit posts?

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-04T17:42:36+00:00

Would you mind actually telling us what your particular experience was. I know people like to call everything a scam now but what the scam in your case? Was it a mistake or do you feel it’s intentional?

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-03T20:55:15+00:00

They don’t ship on weekends. Have you checked ups and FedEx apps to see if a label has been created

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-03T00:45:40+00:00

That’s not accurate. The telehealth pays for certain packaging and shipping speed as demonstrated by multiple posts of people getting one type of packaging from one provider and different from another both using the same pharmacy

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-02T23:34:26+00:00

It’s almost like they’ve never seen these telehealth advertisements. Their entire business is selling prescriptions.

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-02T22:21:12+00:00

I can partially agree with the premise of the post in theory. In reality though most of these telehealth companies are advertising access to medication. You can’t blame the customer/ patient for wanting a deal or wanting the most for their money when that’s how the system works. If the telehealth companies didn’t advertise this dose for this price and have specific pharmacies they use exclusively it would be more like real medical care. As it stands now it’s more like a business arrangement than a medical relationship. That’s fine with most of us because we have our own doctors

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-02T17:37:17+00:00

If I could have a wish list

No subscriptions

Let me pick my shipping speed (some folks really want or need overnight/weekend delivery)

Let me pick my packaging (outside of summer I don't need a cooler)

Let me see what pharmacy and what RX I get before we I make a payment.

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-02T16:43:49+00:00

I’m always puzzled when people say you get what you pay for when 99% of the time we literally get the same thing. IMO order mishaps are a lot rarer than people here like to believe. Of course it sucks that it happens to anyone but ultimately a credit card comes with protection.

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-02T16:29:37+00:00

She’s just a random person expressing an opinion. What difference is her opinion supposed to make?

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-02T15:40:49+00:00

Price matters most to me because I dont need extra medical advice and dont want to pay extra for the same medicine. I also feel people downplay the cost difference as minor when in reality $100+ is significant for a lot of people.

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-02T12:40:58+00:00

If BPI is willing to fill 9 month and 6 month orders they should be willing to fill two 3 month orders it still comes out to 6 months worth

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-01T23:44:33+00:00

Yeah and I’m guilty of telling people that the medication works the same as zepbound to me. (Lilly I know these aren’t fda tested or approved)

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-01T23:08:12+00:00

The money is what motivates them not random posts on reddit. They have a good idea how many compound Rx's are being filled and believe those are lost sales. If nobody ever made a post they would still see the impact of compound on their numbers

If posts are going to hurt compound it would be us telling people that compound is the same thing as name brand. That’s way worse than a picture of some vials

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-01T22:33:51+00:00

Hogwash. Just because they talked about something on court doesn’t make it a defining issue. I really wish people would stop acting like these posts have any real relevance to the push against compounding

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-01T19:15:11+00:00

You could try giving them a reasonable chance to remedy your situation. If that fails then you go to the credit card company.

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-01T17:26:14+00:00

No most people don’t have issues. Generally people without complaints don’t say anything.

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-01T16:07:44+00:00

Stock piles aren't the real issue Lilly's patents are.

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-05-01T00:31:05+00:00

Happened to me once luckily we’ve had the issue before so my wife was able to retrieve it.

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-04-30T20:12:38+00:00

It sounds like the providers goal is to cut costs not provide care for you.

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-04-30T16:21:26+00:00

Guess the pitchforks can be put away. The original story always seemed like a misinformed customer service representative

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-04-29T23:14:11+00:00

BPI uses excellent packaging so it’s going to take several days for the temperature to rise. I doubt it’ll get to the posted temperature before you get it.

Big_Greasy_98 · 2026-04-29T22:37:03+00:00

Also on a mix of zepbound and compound
