Woman Details 10-Pound Weight Loss Journey with Compounded Medications

A woman has shared her 12-week weight loss journey, detailing her experience with compounded medications. Starting at 188.8 pounds, she reported a 10-pound reduction to 178.6 pounds. The individual discussed using both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, noting a significant difference in efficacy between compounded versions and name-brand drugs. She highlighted that the 'beyond use date' of compounded medications, which varied from 30 days to six months across different pharmacies, appeared to impact their effectiveness. According to her, medications with shorter 'beyond use dates' were less effective, with hunger returning after approximately five days. Conversely, those with longer dates sustained their effect for six to seven days. She also mentioned experiencing heavy constipation with the name-brand Tirzepatide medication. The woman concluded that the source of compounded medication significantly influences its performance.
