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.
 
cat and mouse game. those who want it, will find a way to get it. it hurts those who need it the most, and becomes a bit more expensive for them and those who use it outside of doctor prescribed individuals.

But if there is a demand big enough for the market, it will be a market available for purchase
 
What are the alternative sources for Tirz aside from QSC? Been ordering from them for a couple of years but given their recent post from Tracy, I am looking for somewhere else to go to since I am running low on supply
 
Tirze isn't classified as a biologic. They asked the FDA to classify reta as one but they failed Eli Lilly Files Suit Challenging the FDA’s Drug Classification of Retatrutide

Ok then terrific. Someone should let all the compounding pharmacies and news organizations know there will be no disruption in compounded Tirz. All they have to do is change the dosage, brilliant!

They'll be thrilled to hear this, though it begs the question why millions were spent by the compounders fighting the lifting of the shortage status. How foolish of them not to think of such a simple workaround....

I already posted why they cant continue. But biologic isn't it. Stop being petty that you were wrong about something.

If I feel like communicating through sarcasm to someone else, that's my prerogative, and not because "I was wrong".

Pointing to why a custom dose wouldn't pass muster misses a more direct restriction and not something subject to interpretation or potentially bypassed by the inclusion of other ingredients, ie "B12 reduces sides" or "Sermorelin reduces muscle wastage", neither Sema or Tirz have a USP monograph or are on the FDA bulk drugs list, a requirement for API's to be used by compounders (unless in shortage).
