      Starting Semaglutide pill form next week. Because I am 78yrs old with heart, thyroid & internal bleeding history, my doctor has researched and read reviews for several months in order to decide best Amy to titrate my dosages. At this very moment I am 5' O" and weigh 183 because my TSH (Thyroid) became very high in 3-4 months since surgery to repair internal bleeding so doctor had to massively increase my Levothyroxine last months. Dr says there is no way I can increase my exercise enough in order to lose enough weight to help my heart because of my age. Therefore, Semaglutide is my best bet to lose enough weight to feel better enough to increase my walks daily. I am hoping that it works good enough to help me be able to do some of the things I love to do.

    Actually, if you read all of the different patents filed by Novo Nordisk and Eli Lily, none of them are for the medication. The medications are peptides and no one can patent a peptide. All of the patents that the two companies own are for the devices used to inject the medicine (the pens). Also, they both have a chemical conconcotion patent for to prevent clumping of the medicine in the pens and rusting of the pens. They do not have and cannot get a patent on the peptides. The compounds are here to stay.

    It’s all about the cost!! Maybe if Lilly wants keep the business they should make it affordable. Don’t blame public for seeking a better cost through compounding

    They are not diluting it. You are still getting the strength that you are prescribed. They are adding B6 or B12 to it to make it unique to them which authorizes them to sell it. It’s not a generic drug . Its tirzepitide which its the active ingredient in the namebrand version

    Thanks for this short video. My question is, if the supply of the name brand Mounjaro becomes plentiful, how can the compounding pharmacy’s be cracked down on if your physician wants you to have tirzepitude mixed with something (like B12 etc). It seems that’s between the physician and patient and the compounding pharmacy is filling the need for a unique combo that isn’t available. What am I missing about that? Thank you.

    • @robertusga
      @robertusga 8 місяців тому

      What you are missing is that there is no generic tirzepatide. Either they are using untested research grade or illegal "real" tirzepatide which would be breaking several patents (illegal). I understand we all want affordable access to these wonder drugs, but until we have generics, compounding is not the way. Next ray of hope may come from the obesity version of Mounjaro. Apparently this is immenant and should come with its own "cheap" one year coupon... 🤞

    It appears that your perspective is quite critical. However, it’s important to recognize that there are reputable sources that produce high-quality compounds. The cost of Ozempic, which can be as high as $1,200 for a four-week supply, is prohibitive for many people. Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic, has shown remarkable results in clinical studies, and obtaining it through compounded formulations can be a more affordable option, often costing significantly less. 😏
