Eli Lilly is suing Strive Pharmacy and Empower Pharmacy for compounding Zepbound and Mounjaro.

I feel like they have a larger and more visible target in the telehealth and compounding pharmacies. The avg person isn't going to be willing to do "research," but tell them that an FDA approved pharmacy prepared the drugs, and they will throw their money at it to get a deal on the product...
 

...There appears to be a legal challenge brewing between drugmakers and compounding pharmacies, which may be able to sue for patent infringement. That type of litigation is risky because if a judge were to rule against the drugmakers, it could risk their patent and the billions they make selling those drugs...

Strive and Empower supply tirzepatide to popular telehealth sites, including Lavender Sky Health and Mochi Health. The companies didn’t immediately respond to CNBC’s requests for comment.

This is the same pharmacy that my medical facility goes through for compounded medications. But right now they're able to get away with doing this, because they don't use the exact same dosaging plus they add glycine and B12. It's not just Tirzepatide

I just have to say that, the drugs ARE personalized AND tailored to patients needs, in such a way that personally, not everyone can afford EL's prices. So yes, in a way besides the extra vitamins or glycine, that might not work for compounding pharmacies to continue compounding, the price works for most. This helps, NO, this can save thousands of people. Unfortunately, there is a patent, but not in pricing. EL has to do better with their pricing. When doctors tell you that , unless you lose weight or you have less than 7 years to live, because your heart is going to stop working for you(or other types of serious health issues besides being diabetic) and your insurance doesn't want to cover such outrageous prices for the med, the price should be tailored as well. If EL can't do it, there are compounding pharmacies that will! This upsets me as it does for most. I'm so happy that I found everyone here on this forum. This is one of the best decisions that I made!
