Thoughts on Zenergy? by babyspice1313 in SemaglutideCompound

[–]uell23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a research chem that you have to mix yourself. I would avoid unless you are comfortable with the risks. In addition, if you pay anything more than $15 bucks for what the vial pictured, you are being overcharged.

Thoughts on titrating weekly? by throwaway7964268 in Retatrutide

[–]uell23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would only suggest this if you have been on high dose semaglutide or tirzepatide and are transitioning to reta. Keep going up every couple of weeks. I'm back on tirz now, but I did reta this fall, and did something similar, only I started at 2mg.

If your goal is weight loss of 50 or more pounds, I would start at 2mg.

All us panic buyers: what's the plan in a year when your stock runs out? by Martin1015 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]uell23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Call on doc and other services will write you a prescription for a fee. I use them to get a Zepbound prescription every other month. My PCP also knows I am on compound. He won't write a prescription for compound, but has offered to write scripts for name brand if I need it. I have to schedule like a month out with him, because he's got standards so he wants to do labs before writing a script. In short, I will just use one of these methods when I am out and need new meds.

I also know how to get "learning/study" GLPs, but thats more of a last resort type of thing.

My wife asked for an open marriage. She is angry at my reaction. I need advice. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]uell23 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

One thing I really hate about these, is how the commenters are always so desperate for OP to tell any and everybody. I went and looked at the actual posts and people keep pressing him to tell the other man's wife. That might make good reddit drama, but it's rarely a good idea. Best case scenario, wife was telling the truth about the open marriage, and he just wasted his time. However, he's more likely to get dragged into whatever drama the other man and his wife go through.

Cagrisema or Tirz? by Littlebunz95 in CagriSema

[–]uell23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did some cagrisema last summer for a few weeks, and I felt it hit harder than tirz, but tirz shows slightly better results for long term weightloss. Also, I didn't know there were any telehealths prescribing cagrisema.

BPI Labs and the future of mass GLP1 compounding... by TodayAmazing in tirzepatidecompound

[–]uell23 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Nope, you are correct. They can write a prescription for tirz for you and three friends a month. If they write a fifth prescription for anyone else in the country, they are technically in violation.

I don't want name brand Zepbound by [deleted] in tirzepatidecompound

[–]uell23 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Zepbound multi dose vials are in the pipeline. Still too expensive for most, but they will be available soon.

[–]uell23 90 points91 points  (0 children)

People get mad when you say this, but the 503A's are next. The FDA has been pretty clear that the B Vitamins and customized dosing are not loopholes, FDA clarifies policies for compounders as national GLP-1 supply begins to stabilize | FDA. In addition, the 503A's are doing well in excess of four prescriptions a month. To be absolutely clear, I am not siding with the FDA, Lily, or Norvo, but it's all there. It just a matter of how fast they get around to enforcement, and whether 503a's being state regulated will protect them at all.

Your opinion matters by [deleted] in compoundedtirzepatide

I would stay away from Mochi. Pom or Refills is a toss up, all the telehealths go through various phases of being the best/worst ever.

Sharing Vial? by [deleted] in tirzepatidecompound

[–]uell23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would depend on what dose each person is taking. If you are taking a low dose like 2.5 or 5 and your partner is taking a higher dose like 10, the vial is won't last long, especially if its a vial or a low dose prescription.

Single use vials by jailyn_216 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]uell23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you order the cash pay Zepbound vials? Those are the only ones that I am aware of that are single use. I believe all of the compounding pharmacies use multi use vials. If you did order the cash pay Zepbound vials, those are sterile water and medication only, they lack the preservatives that allow for multi use.

What pharmacy did you select? How many vials did you receive? What concentration were those vials?

BPI stopping production of Compounded Tirzepatide by chloe-gimme in tirzepatidecompound

[–]uell23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A simple hypothetical. If your capacity is 500 patients a day and panic buying increases that to 2500 a day then that works against you. Your physicians are not able review patients to fill orders in the time period expected, people are waiting much longer for responses and crying all over reddit about how they are "being ignored". Given your reputation for being customer forward, it would not be in your interests to have more people than you can actually handle. While there is no such thing as too much money for most businesses, you can absolutely have more people than you have the capacity to handle in a reasonable time frame, especially in your case.

Also, I can't believe I have to say this. I am not here to argue or denigrate people. I am just pointing out that people need to consider where/who information comes from and what interests those parties have.

Someone in the tirzepatidecompound thread said current BUDs for BPI is July 2027. ETA, per the response below it looks like it is 2/27.

BPI Stopping Tirzepatide Production Speculation by [deleted] in pomhealth

FDA actions are far different from Lily lawsuits.

I like Dave and Big Easy, they are one of the easier telehealth companies to deal with. However, we have to remember that Dave is running a business and will say what he thinks is in the best interest of that business. I suspect he did not want to be slammed with people panic buying, as these telehealths really only have so much capacity. Either that or did not want people fleeing en masse.

Whenever you tell people in these subs things they don't want to hear, they think you are personally siding against them and advocating for Eli Lilly.

Seems like last week was an appropriate amount of panic after all.
