Batch number recycling is a known issue with a few suppliers - it makes cross-referencing test results meaningless. The COA only tells you what one run tested at; once the same number covers multiple runs, traceability breaks down. Worth confirming with any vendor whether their batch IDs are...
Backing down when hunger returns is the right instinct rather than pushing through. The 2.5-3.5 range is where most people find stable appetite suppression without the side effect load of higher doses.
I toss the pens, but I save the needles and put them into a special container that I drop off at the hospital.
Do people put the entire pen in a sharps?
My pharmacy sells sharps containers for like, five bucks. I've been using mine for a year and barely filled it.

I actually got pregnant naturally a while back. I think the medication helped...
Thinking About Switching GLP-1 Medications? Read This First.
Over the past year, I have seen a major uptick in questions about switching between semaglutide, tirzepatide, and now retatrutide. Some people are plateaued. Some are dealing with side effects. Others are simply curious whether "the...
