small win: TGA stopped being a problem at week 55

Question Receipts ×1 Cold Box ×2

compounding. That is the whole post, but I will justify it.

Everything else people worry about in c/tirzepatide is downstream of it. Titration speed, reflux, the endless dose arguments — most of it resolves if you sort compounding out first, and almost nobody does.

I say this having got it wrong for 20 months. My fasting insulin was the thing that eventually made me pay attention, which is a stupid way to learn a lesson that was in the sidebar the whole time.

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 13–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

Adding to this: shortage is doing more work than the comment implies.

This is correct. PBS listings matter.

Small correction: the trial was 24 weeks, not 27. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

the 2024 compounding rule change closed a major route overnight

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 24 weeks to accept.

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with Australia, not with what you concluded.

u/chidi_yilmaz18 points·1 year ago

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
