is it normal to get constipation at week 30

Discussion Receipts ×9 Cold Box ×1

Been lurking in c/trialwatch for about 5 months and finally have something worth posting.

Short version: week 16, 2.5mg, and state board is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 19 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.

What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 10.

Crossposting this to c/maintenancephase because the people who need it are not reading this community.

state board rules differ, say which state

503B compounding is different from 503A, different rules, different legality

the shortage list is temporary, it ends and compounding becomes illegal again

Are we talking 503A or 503B?

Moved states and the compounding landscape changed completely. Different rules, different pharmacies, different costs.

Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.

the 503A/503B distinction is load-bearing, do not blur it

Strongly agree. API source transparency matters.

Not to be pedantic but telehealth and state board are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

About c/compounding

Compounded GLP-1s as a supply route: the 503A/503B distinction, the shortage-list mechanics that made compounding legal and then didn't, state board rules, telehealth prescriber models, and what a compounding pharmacy will and will not tell you about its API source.

c/compounding rules
  1. Regulatory claims need a citation to the actual rule, notice or docket.
  2. No pharmacy referral codes. Naming a pharmacy is fine; recruiting for it is not.
  3. API source questions are on-topic and pharmacies dodging them is newsworthy.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
