Is there a huge difference? On the comppunding forums they say that Lilly has better ingredients, equipment and facilities that put Chinese tirz to shame.

And tthat the gray we get is basically junk. I argued that compound tirz is all from China too, and even though there's a green list of precursors compounding pharmacies can buy from, not a single one is in the country.

Over on reddit we also saw lilly tirz pens that were made in and shipped from China. So.... how big a difference really is gray market tirz from lilly tirz when it comes down to actual brass tacks?
 
Look… you’ve got brand name cereal, and store brand cereal. Some store brand cereal is actually pretty good and even preferred by the consumer. But it’ll never be the same. Some of it is just absolute 🤮 … I kind figure it’s the same with drugs. It’s all made with the same raw ingredients generally. But the finished product can vary drastically. End of the day if you can make a 💩 the cereal did its job.

There are only 3 differences in my opinion.
  • The first one is the overfilling. You just need to keep an eye on it.
  • The second difference is that you need to do more prep work. Mixing the BAC water into the powder and then fill either syringes or an injection pen cartridge.
  • The third .. money. I spent $1000 to get my first 2 months of Wegovy from the pharmacy. I knew I would burn through my medical savings in about 6 months time. After that I would have to start making budget cuts. I didn't want to do that. So instead I spent about $300 for my first kit of sema and the supplies to mix, store and deliver it. I expect this kit to last for at least a year. It will probably last longer than that to be honest.
