Key Takeaways

Compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide are prepared per individual prescription by a 503A community sterile compounding pharmacy (BelieveRx, Texas State Board pharmacy license #35264). Compounded preparations are not FDA-approved as drugs, and FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before marketing.
Eligibility for GLP-1 treatment is determined individually by a licensed clinician from your medical history, current medications and risk factors; Trimi does not publish a BMI cut-off. The branded semaglutide and tirzepatide labels list a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2 as contraindications, and your clinician also reviews history such as pancreatitis, gallbladder or kidney disease, and pregnancy plans.
Common GLP-1 receptor agonist adverse effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and gallbladder events. Most are mild-to-moderate and concentrated during dose escalation. Severe gastrointestinal symptoms causing dehydration can increase acute kidney injury risk and should be reported to the prescribing clinician.

Arrived within 24 hours. Easy to use. Comes with everything. The year is so worth it.

It's only been 2 weeks since I've been taking the VialsRx meds from Trimi. The medication showed up pretty quickly (about 4 days after getting approval from Trimi prescriber) and I received 3 vials for my first 3 months on the subscription. For the price and convenience my take is that Trimi and VialsRx is good.
