The problem with your position is simple: where does it come from?
The legit path for compounded semaglutide is buying up Rybelsus, impacting the supply for diabetics. Compounding pharmacies are notoriously shady, and are likely using grey market materials from questionable sources.
- jrflowers 1y agoCan you give some specific examples of compounding pharmacies buying up Rybelsus or using grey market GLP-1
- Spooky23 1y agoThere’s a bunch of material out there including acknowledgment from the association of compounding pharmacies. They are in general shady, and the Florida pharmacies are notoriously under-regulated. Guess where most of the online dick pill outlets do their compounding?
- Brian_K_White 1y agoWhy would this product be different from any other product?
- bevr1337 1y ago> Compounding pharmacies are notoriously shady, and are likely using grey market materials from questionable sources. Are they? Compounding pharmacies are common and boring. If someone hasn't yet used a compounding pharmacy then it's likely they're in very good health -- yay for them! What's being described doesn't feel like an issue with compounding rather folks setting up shop to peddle questionable drugs.
- bickfordb 1y agoIs there evidence that compounded Semaglutide from Hims pharmacies has harmed anyone?
- hammock 1y agoSafe and effective. Side effects are very rare and are usually limited to soreness at the site of injection. Recommend everyone who is recommended semaglutide by a relevant authority, to get it. The obesity epidemic is a national security concern
- zdragnar 1y agoI don't think the question was whether semaglutide was safe, but whether the version that Hims sells is safe. That includes things like being free from contaminants, stability of the compound, etc.
- ryandrake 1y ago> I don't think the question was whether semaglutide was safe, but whether the version that Hims sells is safe. Don’t forget “effective” too. If you just make the bar “safety” then you are accepting sugar pills as medicine for whatever condition. You should need to prove both safety AND effectiveness.
- hammock 1y agoSugar is arguably more “effective” than it is “safe.” But I know you are referring to sugar pills not sugar diet
- hammock 1y agoHow would you even test for that?
- Spooky23 1y agoHims just outsources fulfillment to a compounding pharmacy. Usually they add vitamin B-12 to make it "customized". Are they crushing rybelsus? Getting raw materials through some mysterious supply chain from Ukraine, China or Israel? You have no idea. On the flip, I think access to basic drugs for stuff like ED, hair loss, etc is fine. But they also do stuff like off-label anti-depressants, etc can potentially be dangerous... but at the same time, people are going to urgent cares and getting antidepressants with just more cost and friction.
