comment on asked my compounder where the API comes from. long silence. in c/compounding · 2 points · 1 days ago
This is correct. The shortage list does expire and the rules change.
comment on [Math] 10mg vial + 2mL bac water, i want 2.5mg, how many units in c/reconstitution · 16 points · 2 days ago
This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes.
Disagree on that part. 96.8% and 96.2% on the same vial is normal.
comment on mg ÷ mL, that is the whole formula, why did i find this hard in c/reconstitution · 1 points · 2 days ago
This is correct. 1mL versus 8mL is the common mistake.
comment on the shortage list came off and my pharmacy stopped overnight in c/compounding · 2 points · 3 days ago
API source questions are on-topic and compounders dodging them is newsworthy
comment on [Data] two DEXA scans a year — lean mass held at 92% while fat mass halved in c/glp1muscle · 9 points · 3 days ago
Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
comment on the shortage list came off and my pharmacy stopped overnight in c/compounding · 3 points · 3 days ago
Yeah, 503A and 503B are different regulatory animals.
comment on [Results] ALT 34 → 19 in seven months, nothing else changed in c/bloodwork · 9 points · 3 days ago
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
comment on why is nobody talking about the SURPASS-CVOT readout in c/tirzepatide · -12 points · 5 days ago
the appetite change on tirz is more than just reduced hunger, it is different machinery
comment on why is nobody talking about the SURPASS-CVOT readout in c/tirzepatide · 5 points · 6 days ago
Did you stay on semaglutide or switch? The outcome is different if you are comparing.
comment on [Pricing] £129 to £189 for the same thing across four pharmacies this month in c/glp1uk · 4 points · 7 days ago
MHRA supply notices change monthly, follow the actual list
comment on [Discussion] "tirz is stronger than sema" needs a comparator dose or it means nothing in c/tirzepatide · 3 points · 9 days ago
Strongly agree. Tirz is better than sema is not a claim without a comparator dose.
comment on [Discussion] the compounding gap was a symptom, not a solution in c/compounding · 51 points · 12 days ago
state board rules differ, say which state
comment on [Results] hs-CRP halved before the scale moved much in c/bloodwork · 262 points · 12 days ago
Same lab both times?
comment on reconstituted at 1mL instead of 2mL and caught it before injecting. lucky. in c/reconstitution · 31 points · 17 days ago
never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration
comment on [Question] private prescription — what am I missing here in c/glp1uk · 59 points · 23 days ago
England or Scotland? Different pathways.
comment on genuine question about protein that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/glp1muscle · -5 points · 27 days ago
What was the batch number and which service?
comment on the Zepbound question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/tirzepatide · 30 points · 1 months ago
How long at each step before you escalated?
comment on [Meta] the compounding rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/compounding · 6 points · 1 months ago
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.
comment on [Discussion] mg/mL is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/reconstitution · 19 points · 1 months ago
Dead space ate 12 units on a low-volume draw. Tiny impact at 5mg, massive impact at 2.5mg.
comment on [Discussion] mg/mL is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/reconstitution · 25 points · 1 months ago
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
