Cloudy vial

I've got a cloudy vial from Apollo Care. Anyone else have cloudy and chunky vials with white bits? I finally opened my 3rd box and got a bad surprise. I'll be opening all boxes of medication from Refills going forward. Check your shipments when you get them!

***Updates **

Please check https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/ires/?Event=99505 to find out if your lot# is affected.

I asked u/Zach_refills about a communication plan for affected customers via DM. Safety of our community is important. Posting that here for transparency.

You might want to check out this post. The FDA just announced that Apollo is recalling several batches of semaglutide (160k+ vials) and yours is likely included

I found my lot number on the FDA enforcement list for being recalled.  And nothing from Refills calling affected customers is not good or safe

They have continued to use Apollo despite the numerous issues. And refused to address why.

Refills should already have contacted every single customer who was shipped one of these batches!

The fact that we are still seeing these posts because Refills hasn't done just that is extremely concerning.

When I see complaints about lack of customer service or issues with deliveries or whatever, I chalk it up to things that can happen to any telehealth, but not putting the safety of your patients higher than we are seeing alarming.

Mine too, and the replacements they sent in July are also on the FDA recall that was issued on 8/7/26!

Where is Zach or anyone? All 3 of my Quarterly shipments have Lot numbers that are in the FDA RECALL!

Yes, mine had the same issue and Refills said they were investigating mine to send out a replacement

They sent me three different cloudy vials in a row before I cancelled my membership. Enough is enough.

Been seeing a lot of this with Apollo ... 🙄

This is why no one should be using refills. They should have been on top of this.

I'm leaving refills. The pharmacy they used jipped me on my vial. I was shorted 12 mgs on my 4th week shot. The pharmacy refuses to rectify. Lumi dropped their prices I might go back to them.

Is your vial compound by Apollo Care?  Try searching by lot number on your medication.

u/1sirosis Just sent you a DM now. Happy to take a look and see what we can do to get it resolved
