I just talked to the compounding pharmacy I get mine from and they said tirzepitide will be available until at least April and said there’s nothing to worry about for now, it is Empower pharmacy in Houston TX.
Thank you for explaining this. I honestly thought them taking it off the shortage list meant that its no longer in shortage,meaning its available but now u explained it well in lamens terms. Appreciated. ❤
It’s the injection PEN that Eli Lily cannot keep in supply. The drug is there. They are building a manufacturing plant for the pen in Indianapolis but it won’t be finished until ‘26 or so. In the meantime, FDA just approved for sleep apnea so its demand will continue to rise….
The Saga continues! Thanks for the update Dr Risinger…💪🏻

Thank you for the update!!!
Could the problem be the surgeon general’s office and an administration that is incompetent?
Very good 👍
I read it was November 21 they will be back in court.
Yes, I have seen that too!
Why is there a shortage?
The demand outpaces supply. And the pinch point is the pens that the medication is put in.
