A lot of the compounded stuff is nonsense. They charge you a few hundred dollars for vitamin B supplements with some shadily-sourced GLP drug that fell off the truck or was manufactured in some mysterious factory in Ukraine or wherever.
Even in the drugs are real, most of the online compounders are out of Florida or other locals with a long history of shady behavior and poor regulation.
- ik8s 2y agoExactly! I've reasearched some semaglutide compounding pharmacies and it terrifies me that their semaglutide source is top secret; never disclosed. Where's it coming from and what are people really injecting?
- trogdor 2y agoTheir semaglutide source is crushed Rybelsus pills. See, for example: https://a4pc.org/2024-04/mass-confusion/ https://a4pc.org/2024-04/mass-confusion/ https://subsema.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/White-Paper-Semaglutide-Crushing-of-RYBELSUS®-Tablets.pdf https://subsema.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/White-Paper-S... https://mynextgenrx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Compounded-Semaglutide-Sublingual-Script-Sheet.pdf https://mynextgenrx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Compounde...
- Spooky23 2y agoI doubt that’s supporting the industry. Rybelsus is constrained from a supply pov and expensive.
- trogdor 2y agoOn the contrary. It’s quite cheap, since compounding pharmacies are selling semaglutide for injection. Last week I purchased 90 tablets of 14mg Rybelsus for just over $700. My cost per milligram of semaglutide was just over 50 cents. Compounding pharmacies are preparing weekly injections containing at most a few milligrams of semaglutide, and they are selling a one-month supply for ~$250. Their cost for active ingredient is well-under $10.
