    That’s how I got my off brand ozempic. They added B12 to it, so it isn’t an exact copy of the patented drug.

      You got a name for that? I wouldn’t mind letting my doctor know about this stuff.

        I got it through a compounding pharmacy website that only offers virtual consultations with their in-house doctors.

          What is happening in this thread? Do not inject mystery drugs your learned about on an internet forum!

    According to this, some of these manufacturers aren’t even using GMP environments… Yikes. There are food supplements with better quality control than these injectable “medicines”.

      Yep.

      There is a guy in Australia who is pumping it hard. He ships to the USA.

      You get sketch looking vials of red liquid, with a melted ice pack (who knows when that stopped keeping it cold) that your meant to inject. Not knowing where it was made, how clean the environment was, or what is even in it.

      A lot of people showing up in emergency from taking it.
