I'm one of the many newbies joining to figure out how to do this after compounding has ended.
Currently, I'm using a compounded tirzepatide, but my local compounding pharmacies have stopped producing, so I'm going down this path.
I've seen a lot of posts about sources and such, but I'm struggling at the "what is my current dosage" part.
My current looks like this:
Questions:
1. Cyanocobalamin? Looks like that's vitamin B12. Do I still need that?
2. Is this saying 20mg/ml of tirz to BAC + .5mg/ml of b12 to BAC? What's the equivalent dose of Zepbound?
3. Where do I find the reconstitution amounts? Is there a chart somewhere for different standard dose levels?
I'm completely at a loss of how much of the tirz and BAC to buy to match my current, much less larger future doses.
I was looking at Tydes and Polaris, neither has that information that I could find.
Bonus questions:
4. Does the BAC or tirz powder go bad? Can I just buy it in bulk and store it in the fridge for a year?

My current looks like this:
This came in 3 x 1ml vials.Inject 63 units on insulin syringe (0.63ml) subcutaneously once weekly
Cyanocobalamin/Tirzepatide 0.5/20mg/ml (1ML)
