I wiped the same night when Christina and Jackson Agar ate pizza. The situation is different because they both take obese drugs.
Christina said, “I recently ordered a pizza, ate some on the first night, and the next day we would have been a little more.” And we left the pizza because we had passed the day you could eat it. And it was so weird because we didn’t do that. “
Her husband, Jackson, said, “No.
They lost about 20 pounds for six weeks. However, the agars living in Minnesota do not take the Zepbound of ELI LILLY. Their insurance does not deal with it.
They are receiving an inexpensive alternative that contains active ingredients called Tirzepatide.
It was made by a synthetic pharmacy, which is a special kind of pharmacy that can be essentially made of drugs while lacking.
Christina says that there is more energy for four children since the beginning of the complex Tazpard. And Jackson no longer needs sleep apnea. (December, Food and Drug Administration Jeff Bound approved to treat sleep -free absorption.))
“I eat this triggered food, and my favorite is to change my life completely.
But the complex drugs that the baby and others depend on it do not stay here.
that FDA says Since the agency has declared enthusiastic tribes for one year, the complex pharmacy must stop creating a Tirzepatide. The deadline is Wednesday.
How the patient feels
I am worried about agar. Other patients are sad. Some are angry.
In Arizona, Margot Carmichael denied.
“I thought many people would have thought so. Oh, it would be okay. This complex and remote healthy place makes this for millions of dollars and helps many people. This is not possible.”
I was confused by the patient. Some remote health companies say they will not be affected. Others provide last -minute sales as the FDA deadline is getting closer.
“March 19, we were completed in essence.” Olympia PharmaceuticalIt has a large complex pharmacy in Orlando, Florida and is called outsourcing facility. Production will stop, but pharmacies can still be distributed until Olympia’s Tirzepatide is exhausted or expired.
Fritzler has made medicine for more than 100,000 patients a month.
“They are nervous. They are scared,” he said. “And we hope to make enough to fill the patient’s script.”
According to the latest FDA, 7 large facilities including Olympia Outsourcing Facility Product Report. It is necessary to follow the same safety and quality standards as the brand and generic pharmaceuticals and are inspected by the FDA. Small pharmacies regulated by the state were expected to be suspended in February.
Consumers are creative
Many patients have told NPR that they are having a complex TPAID in the NPR.
Carmichael has no health insurance right now. She says that she can only afford small stocks.
“I don’t have money,” she says. “So I hope you will borrow money and get three more months and increase as long as possible, and there will be another solution after six to nine months.”
Eli Lily sells Discounted vial For those who do not use insurance, Carmichael is still too expensive. She had to pay $ 500 or $ 600 to supply a month’s dose from Eli Lilly.
At almost the same price, she was able to get worth for three months in a complex pharmacy. The standard form of the Zepbound provided by the automatic syringe pen is costly. More than $ 1,000 a month Without insurance.
CARMICHAEL and other patients say the NPR buys a large vial and increases medicine to save money for a long time (until the vial expires).
However, ELI Lilly Vials does not contain preservatives DisposalPatients say that they complicate the cost reduction strategy. In addition, patients such as Carmichael must renew their order every 45 days to maintain the company’s discount. “They are having a hard time as much as possible,” she says.
The pharmaceutical company did not respond immediately, but in an interview with the NPR in February, ELI Lilly CEO David Ricks discount In patients who take high doses every 45 days, “This is an opportunity to compensate for those who participate in the program and stay.”
Some people are talking about purchasing active ingredients in China online and mixing obesity at home. They call it “gray market”.
Zepbound and complex alternatives must be sterilized for injection, so the handmade version will be difficult to make it safe.
Jackson Agar of Minnesota said that the gray market is a danger that his family is not just taken. “When you prohibit things, people will return to crazy alternatives because we need this and don’t have a lot of money.”
