Compounded Tirz has been vanquished. UGL likely next. Stock up.

The following is my opinion as to what's just ahead of us in the UGL based drug landscape. It's based on my close observation of the political and business movements likely to affect this market. As with every opinion, feel free to take or discard my advice as you see fit.


Eli Lily has finally succeeded in putting a stake in the heart of compounded copies of their $1000/mo drug. With the amount of money on the line, expect them to turn their attention to Chinese knockoffs.

While Tirz (and all peptides/protein therapeutics except growth hormone) are not controlled substances, legal to purchase from many legitimate chemical suppliers, they are not legal to sell for human use.

One element in the upcoming De Minimus small package crackdown is a requirement that every product intended for consumer use is required to comply with all relevant regulations, including those from the FDA, and the seller must provide documentation proving it.

The TLDR is this requirement is sufficient for customs to stop the importation of pharma compounds being sent to individuals. Anyone who buys India pharma regularly knows the FDA can seize any med, regardless of whether it's a controlled substance or not. You can be sure that Eli and Novo are already lobbying hard to ensure these tools are employed in the new tightening customs regime.

Like all contraband in high demand, it'll still find a way in, but expect it to be much more expensive.

For those who rely on these meds, it would be wise to stock up while it's inexpensive and plentiful, to ride out any potential interruption in supply.

If you can get a prescription, even if your insurance doesn't cover it (and many more do now so it's worth rechecking), because once you drop below the qualification BMI, you'll never be able to get a prescrip. Once on it, you'll be able get "maintenance" prescription renewals even if you're normal weight.

You don't have to fill those prescriptions if you choose to keep using UGL, but it's a good backup in case you can't get UGL. Remember, these *hormones* are intended for indefinite use, and those coming off overwhelmingly return to baseline weight.
 
If you've been on PRESCRIPTION Tirzepatide and think you can abstain for 90 days, now is also probably a great time to get into one of the Phase 3 Reta/Tirz studies.

Be honest with the study authors and make sure you meet their requirements, but they will generally accept you as long as you've been off all GLP-1s for at least a quarter. Think of it as a roundabout way of securing your supply for the next 1-2 years.
Unless you are on placebo
