Tirzepatide Shortage Resolved: What It Means for Your Weight Loss Journey
The recent announcement that Tirzepatide has been removed from the FDA’s drug shortage list marks a significant turning point for those seeking effective weight loss solutions16. As of October 2, 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has declared that the Tirzepatide shortage has been resolved, making all doses of Eli Lilly’s weight-loss drug (Zepbound) and diabetes drug (Mounjaro) generally available for patients1.
Impact on Compounded Tirzepatide
While this news is positive for many, it also means that compounded versions of Tirzepatide may no longer be accessible. The FDA’s exemption allowing compounding pharmacies to produce these medications is typically only in effect during shortages2. As a result, those who have been relying on compounded Tirzepatide may need to explore alternative options.
