Compounded Tirz...safe?

Hong Kong Yanpep International
I'm almost ashamed of how much compounded stuff I bought. Now that I'm using the good stuff, my wallet is breathing again. Those other forums have crazy before/after pics, but the people are so...intense. This place is way more laid-back and smarter. Never going back to compounded.
 
Is it even a real compounding place? Did they say where they got it? There are so many scammers out there. Maybe it was just a fake seller.
 
According to one analytical lab website: A beyond-use date (BUD) is the date after which a compounded medication, sterile or not, shouldn't be used, based on the mixing date/time.
 
Drugs.com says: 'Pharmacies put 'do not use after...' dates on prescriptions. Many states require these dates, usually a year from when it's filled.'

The Fill Date is when the pharmacy gives the medication to the patient.

Most compounding pharmacies don't mix the meds until they get the order.
 
I agree 100% with SteadyOnSema. The safety and efficacy of compounded GLP-1s are simply not comparable to FDA-approved medications. The lack of rigorous quality control is a serious concern.
 
Been reading a lot about this issue. The Obesity Society had a whole discussion on compounded GLP-1s this year. Seems like the experts are worried about access to safe, approved drugs.

Same here. I almost convinced myself it was worth it but then I read a bunch of horror stories online. No way.
 
congrats on dropping 26! you got the next 50 no problem. almost exactly where i'm at too. going to my doc tuesday for knee stuff. she prescribed wegovy new year's eve and i got a coupon first month but couldn't swing the cost so switched. thinking about telling her i'm using a compounded version. glad yours didn't give you grief about it.
 
The testing prerequisite before using vials of uncertain provenance is the right call - the recapping problem specifically introduces contamination risks that aren't present in properly sealed pharmaceutical or compounded product. Accepting discounted vials of uncertain origin is only sensible if the test comes back clean.
 
Limiting the stash to what you'll actually use is the rational calculation when degradation data is your primary concern. The compounded tirz question for the OP is different from the stash-vs-use question but the underlying logic of knowing your product is reliable runs through both.
 
My doctor told me at my last visit that he wouldn't advise compounded without the pens, since it's very risky. One of his patients supposedly injected 80 units of Tz rather than 8, an overdose. People really seem to think it's pens or nothing. I nearly mentioned that legitimate vials exist straight from the manufacturer, but I didn't want an argument because he only prescribes pens. Makes me wonder if he gets a cut. It's the same logic as that hit piece, they want us believing there's only one right way. Plenty of people have used compounded meds with hardly any serious overdose reports, and that can be fixed rather than tossed, so everybody isn't pushed onto the pricey name brand.
