Trust that if I can’t get my Mounjaro, I will be reporting it. I hope an affordable solution remains available for all who need this medication.

Christopher, thanks so much to you and Laraine for putting this all together in a concise, timely way. I am a Medicare person, so no matter what, I am out of pocket paying, but compounded tirzepatide is so much more affordable. My 2 sisters are also on this wonderful drug. One has insurance coverage and works at a hospital and has been able to get her prescription for Zepbound at the hospital pharmacy. My other sister, a nurse, has no coverage from her insurance and like me, does compounded (thru Mochi - both of us) I will just keep moving forward and watching your updates to keep informed. Congrats on “Onederland “, and Merry Christmas to the extended Durham family 🎄🎄🎄

Thank you too!

Phone calls to your representatives and Senators makes a difference. The members Senate Committee on Health Labor Education and Labor are important; as well as the Congressional Committee on Oversight and Accountability is also important. The more calls they get, the more they pay attention. I tried to put the links in, but KZbin would not let me.

Should be Health Education Labor and Pensions.

Christopher, thank you again for bringing us up to date information. You do a terrific job and I am subscribed. Congratulations on both of your weight losses. Way to go!

Thanks for the sub!

Thanks again Christopher for your timely updates! Oh, I forgot to congratulate you earlier today on reaching Onederland❣️

[@lindabookmiller8803]

Thanks again for the updates. Bottom line for me, and probably many, it really doesn’t matter if the brand names are in shortage. I am only on compound because of the cost. Bringing down the cost to under $400 a month is the hope. I’m near goal, and to pay that much for maintenance will even be ridiculous. More and more successful patients will be in this situation this year. I plan to stock up a few extra high doses and begin lowering the dosage gradually. Will be seeing my cardiologist next week also, to see if he can help with Wegovy.

Hi, I’m interested in mochi but when I try to fill out the application through Facebook, it doesn’t go all the way through. I’d like to use your code, but I’d like to know a better way to apply. It’s frustrating when you give them all your information and then the page disappears.

[@lillyr1786]

Great update! Can you do a what’s coming in 2025 for new medications/glp1’s. Stocking up for now👍

[@thedownsized]

That's the plan!

[@momtonolie]

Christopher, do you guys know which telehealth companies and compounding pharmacies will sell 3-month supplies of Tirzepetide before the 60-day and 90-day cut off dates?

[@thedownsized]
