On maintenance-switching from Zepbound to compound (dosage/schedule equivalent?)
Post
Hi, I’ve been on maintenance for a few months and I like how it’s going but ready to save $$$, can’t do $450/mo anymore. - currently take my 10 mg vial about every 10-12 days depending on how I’m feeling. But I’m seeing the compounded vials have to be used every 28 days so this wouldn’t work the same if I switched ? Is there something I’m not understanding right on the vials/dosages or something that anyone could recommend? I’d like to still keep the same dosage and schedule but is there an equivalent in how compound pharmacies can have this work for me? TY!
