If anything it's gonna give Lilly more ammunition against compounding. The more people who severely fuck up their dosages, the more EL can say "See?? People NEED our pens to stay safe."
). Yeah, sketch af.
Honestly, I've wondered about compoundings role in the number of cases of severe side effects. How many people just immediately upped their dosage every 4 weeks even if their previous dose was working just because they could, with no real followup other than a super short telehealth visit, or in some cases, text/email. How many of those cases would have been able to avoid all that if they were seeing a doctor in person regularly that was able to run tests if needed or be advised to scale their dosage down?I think it was always sketchy af. "Telehealth" services doing fraudulent exams and pumping out prescriptions for patients that were never actually seen. Compounding pharmacies using Chinese sourced APIs that are no better than anything we get on the gray market, probably from the same suppliers our finishers get their raws from. Weird additives like B12, hell one of them is adding NAD+ now (that's gonna sting more than Amopure
I started on compounding for the first 3 months. The wording on directions for usage were just odd. I have a medical background and had researched things ahead of time so I had my own plan. If I was clueless though I could easily see how it would have caused issues. I also went up according to their records every month just so I could get the higher dose as it was the same cost. Actually took me over 5 months to use the 3 months worth up. I can definitely see people being impatient and wanting to lose 30lbs a month and thinking more was better
Crazy part about that NAD+ one is people are in the comments like “I’ll take it mixed with anything I don’t care if it hurts”. Ummmm yeah that’s not worrisome at allI think it was always sketchy af.

You could do it for 2 patients but you can't for 20,000. Again good luck arguing in court every single patient you 'see' needs the same dosing schedule that isn't the studied and approved one. Even worse is that they’re not buying powder…
Yeah... All of the "wellness centers" and "medspas" selling one Botox injection for $300 per injection, and "red light therapy" 20 minute sessions for $250+. All of these just suck money out of people who don't know any better.
Yeah, it’s hard to remember when I was afraid to go gray! Not that there aren’t issues in the peptide community but compounding sites on reddit were cutthroat!
Hey, share your hookup on Botox, bruh.
Totally don't use Botox, but I've seen it so much cheaper on the gray market price lists.
Yeah but you can seriously mess up your face if you don’t know where to inject. I watch a nurse inject weekly on people and I am like nope that’s not the job I signed up for.
I want to look as young as the next person, but the idea of intentionally injecting myself with Botulism seems like a poor choice.
