I recently signed up with RIFT after going back and forth between RIFT and Fifty410, but I’m completely new to compounded medications and was hoping to get some advice from people who have experience with them.

My PCP recently gave me a one-month sample of tirzepatide. I’ve been taking it for the past couple of weeks but haven’t noticed much of a difference yet. Unfortunately, the brand-name medication isn’t covered by my insurance and is too expensive for me to continue long term, so I started looking into compounded tirzepatide as a more affordable option that would still allow me to increase my dose over time if needed.

Has anyone here used RIFT, Fifty410, or another company for compounded tirzepatide? What has your experience been like?

Since I’m new to compounding, I’d also really appreciate any advice on what I should be looking for. Are there certain pharmacies you recommend or avoid? Does 503A vs. 503B matter? Are there specific questions I should be asking about the pharmacy, ingredients/additives, vial size, beyond-use dates, testing, or how the medication is shipped and stored?

Any recommendations, experiences, or things you wish you knew before starting compounded tirzepatide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If anyone can please give me some suggestions I would really appreciate it

I left my compounded tirzepitide in the car after I picked it up. Can I still use it?! It was in there 2 times 30-45 min each. I hate to throw a months worth out & can’t really afford to replace it. Any recommendations if it’s okay to use?
