GLP-1 lawsuit drama!

[Tirz_Chick614]

Lilly is coming after some online places that sell cheaper forms of Mounjaro and Zepbound, saying they're not legit.

 

[Bobby2005]

So the cheaper versions are bad copies, but Lilly is also mad they're too similar? Hypocritical much?

 

[Sub_Donut137]

Gotta protect those profits!

 

[Tirz_Chick614]

Yeah, Lilly's suing Mochi Health, Fella & Delilah Health, Willow Health, and Henry Meds. They're saying these companies are selling fake versions, maybe with random stuff added. These drugs made Lilly billions last year, so they're not happy about the competition.

Hey folks, Richie here, founder of Fella & Delilah. Our legal team is all over this. I'll share updates on our subreddit:

Big Pharma =

I can't afford the name brand stuff because insurance won't cover it. I hope they don't take away my access to compounded meds.

 

[Care_Free731]

Weirdly, the compounded stuff seemed to work better!

 

[Gene_Chick576]

They only care about the money; our health is way down on the list.

 

[Tirz_Chick614]

So many options out there now!

 

[Bobby2005]

Govt needs to step in and regulate.

 

[Green-FWIW]

Compounding pharmacies have a history of issues. Remember the NECC disaster? Contaminated drugs caused serious harm and even death. You'd think they would learn!

Exactly! They need serious oversight.

 

[Tirz_Chick614]

So what's the secret to finding a safe compounding pharmacy?

 

[Green-FWIW]

Accreditation from PCAB and registration with the FDA as an outsourcing facility are good signs. PCAB means they follow USP 797 standards, and FDA registration means they're supposed to follow similar manufacturing rules as big pharma.

 

[Bobby2005]

Makes sense! I'll look for those.

 

[Care_Free731]

I was reading about Kisspeptin-10 and how the FDA decided not to allow compounding pharmacies to make it. Seems like they had concerns about how well it's understood and potential risks.

 

[Jules_01]

So, if they shut down the compounding pharmacies, where do people on a budget turn to?
