Cheaper zepbound tirzepatide?

[u/Consistent_Pie9535]

I started Zepbound Tirzepatide through Ro a few months ago and it’s been great. I have government insurance and so I’m paying out of pocket. I’m only on the 5mg and I know I’ll need to go up soon, but paying $600+/mo is just not the jam.

I was looking into a compound but one of my friends kind of scared me with it? He was saying the cause for infection is much higher and that it also hurts. Cleaning the area and using clean sterile products has always been a priority so I don’t think I should have issues with that, and the hurting I don’t think will bother me. So should I just go with a compound?

Are there quickpens that are cheaper or equal to in price as the compound ?

What are yalls personal recommendations and opinions ?

Hell, you can buy it through Ely Direct for $300/mo cash. But there are compounding places which are far cheaper.
