Can I still get compounded tirzepatide in 2025?
Availability depends on whether tirzepatide remains on the FDA drug shortage list. Compounding is only legal during active shortages. Confirm current status with your pharmacist.

Both are GLP-1-based weight-loss injectables. Tirzepatide additionally targets GIP receptors, which in trials produced slightly greater average weight loss. Both are available at similar compounding prices.
