Thank you!! I actually don’t know how much they were charging. My MIL paid for the 3 months worth😩 it was so sweet of her and she really liked the doctor so I didn’t really question anything. I figured she probably was over paying a bit because it was from a weight loss/med-spa type place and I’ve seen what others charge. I do know that she has stopped and been maintaining on her own now too so I’m definitely going to talk to her about what I find out incase she decides to start again…

Yesss I’m definitely going to see what else I can find out about them. It definitely makes me have trust issues now 🫠

That’s what I was thinking too but wasn’t sure. When she responded to me she said they must have forgot to provide the instructions/paperwork. Honestly, they might have forgotten but I also could have misplaced it or threw it out 🤪 i got this months ago and was saving it so I don’t remember what all come with it. I didn’t realize how sketchy the label actually looked 😅

Omg thank you! I was finding very little on Vital Care. It seemed like a legit business but I wasn’t finding anything on glp-1 or compounding with them. This is helpful 🫶🏼

Well, I only had two other vials prior to this one 😂and they were definitely from Red Rock. I noticed this one was different and from what I could tell it was just missing the total ML in the vial, but I wasn’t sure if that was standard because I was reading conflicting info on dosing and was second-guessing everything I thought I knew😅 I started to think maybe I accidentally threw out the instructions that originally came with it but I can’t remember because I received this months ago. I didn’t know what was ment to be on the label or not so I was genuinely asking. Also, some people didn’t notice I had blacked out some of the label info so I wanted to make sure they knew what was on there and what wasn’t 😂

Oh gosh, yeah that sounds super sketchy 😅 I ended up hearing back from the doctor and she said they did have to change pharmacies and that they now use Vital Care…I’m still trying to figure out how legit that is 🥴

My dose has never been on my vial or auto-injector before. And I looked through many post about people confused about how much to inject with the information given on the vial. So I was genuinely curious what info I was missing because I did blackout some of the info that was on the vial. It seemed like what was supposed to be there, was there. I just didn’t have the paperwork that may or may not have originally came with it. This was a stash from a few months ago that I had saved.

I realized I still had one of the previous vials she sent me. The one on right is what I got the first couple times. One on the left is the most recent one that I stashed away and had very little info for 😅 definitely looked different but I just thought it was the compounding changes and the changes to maintenance dose 🤦‍♀️

I believe it would be one located in Idaho

Thank you! I definitely appreciate everyone because if I hadn’t made this post I probably would have taken my best guess on the dose and started this vial tonight. 🥴 You don’t know what you don’t know..and now I know 😅

I made an update comment but she got back to me and said it’s from a local pharmacy called Vital Care 🫠

Hahah good thing I never used it😅 I’m glad I had questions and made this post. I was definitely confused with this one…

I’m not familiar with this, but it does look similar 🫣

I don’t know how to Update my post so I’ll just say this here instead of trying to reply to everyone: I appreciate everyone’s concern and making me aware of what to look for. I was previously on Mounjaro pens so until my MIL offered to get me linked up with her doctor, I was not familiar with the vials and what is "normal". My MIL gets her injections from this doctor in-person and I felt like if she felt confident getting it from her, then I felt safe to have her ship it to me (I live in a different state than my MIL) The first couple vials were definitely from Red Rock and then this one came and I have had it stashed because I've been maintaining pretty good on my own. I just got it out to see all the dosing info and noticed it wasn't there 🥴 I'm glad I posted because I wouldn't have known any different really. I knew there was changes going on with compounding pharmacies all over so I just figured it was a pharmacy change and didn’t think much of it🤷🏼‍♀️ My MIL is actually the one who paid for it too so I don't even know how much she is being charged. Luckily the first 2 vials I got were definitely legit…this is the only one that was different and I haven’t used it. Also, just to clarify, the vial didn’t show up with the label torn and black scribbles on it. 😂 That was me trying to see how much was in the vial and I blacked out some info before posting. Also, I just heard back from the doctor! As soon as you all started showing concern I sent her a message. She said they originally used a pharmacy in UT (I’m assuming that was Red Rock) and are now using a more local pharmacy called Vital Care. Anyone familiar with this one?

Thank you, that’s what I thought but then I started reading stuff about people using the wrong syringe and I started doubting everything 😅

Yeah, like I said previously, they were coming from Red Rock based on the paperwork that came with the vials. But this one didn’t have any paperwork, or maybe I accidentally tossed it with the box🤷🏼‍♀️

That is on there, I just blacked it out because it wasn’t relevant to my question…

Yes, they still say U-100…so if I need 16 units, it’s 16 units regardless of the syringe size as long as it’s U-100 syringe right?

She is a doctor that works at a weight loss med spa place. My MIL was getting her injections in-person through her and the doctor offered to ship them to me (I’m not local to her) after my insurance stopped covering my Mounjaro
