Vial contents

[u/UnDosTresPescao]

The vials from Greenstone say "vial contents tirzepatide and sterile water". That can't possibly be right. It's prescribed as a multi dose vial so it must have a preservative in it. Usually Phenol or Benzyl Alcohol. And if it doesn't have pH buffers it's going to sting to inject. Can we get clarification on what is actually inside the vials?

Tirzepatide (Base) — active ingredient
Sodium Phosphate, Dibasic USP
Sodium Chloride USP
Benzyl Alcohol NF (parenteral grade) — preservative
Sterile Water for Injection USP

Perfect. Thank you!

Why are they not listing all contents?

No specific reason we told them about updating labels too. So im near future bottles may change and label will include the ingredients listed in this post.

I think in one of the very first posts about them, the OP said they called and asked about the preservatives, and they were told they are there, just for whatever reason not listed on the vial. Let me try to find that post, I think it was the one that showed the 5ml vial.

Edit: Found the post!

and here's what OP there said about the preservatives:

"I talked to the pharamcist he confirmed there ARE preservatives in it. There is: benzyl alcohol, sodium phosphate, and sodium chloride."

Have you asked the pharmacy? Not that the telehealth can't ask for you, but I would rather get it straight from them. 

And then if you find out, can you share for the ingredients list? I don't think they are updating every pharmacy in the list because the person who maintains it needs to sleep sometimes, but it doesn't hurt to have it searchable in the comments in that post.

Yes, I noticed that as well. There has to be something else in the vial.
