It's absolutely not any cheaper. Regular pharmacy wants like $200 for the name brand drug but the cheapest compounding pharmacy wants $480. It was cheaper when GLP meds first became available a few years ago, but this is not helpful advice anymore.

Oh man, I’m sorry. I’m only paying $70 out of pocket (not going through insurance).

Damn, that would be a lot better for tirzepatide. I think rn my only hope is getting into a drug trial for another combo GLP-1/GIP drug.

Not condoning this, but I got some grey market stuff from china that passed a 3rd party test. Think it was like $250 for a 9 month supply.

Never ended up using it, but plenty of others have

Oh, I’m getting semaglutide. Maybe that’s the price difference.
