FDA Removes Tirzepatide from the Shortage List: What This Means

The FDA has removed Tirzepatide from the drug shortage list, setting a timeline that will limit access to compounded versions by February 2025. This decision could lead to similar restrictions on Semaglutide and underscores the urgent need for permanent, affordable solutions for GLP-1 medications.

Compounding pharmacies have provided critical access, but lasting options like FDA-approved generics, lower prices, or mandatory insurance coverage are essential to ensure patients can manage chronic conditions without barriers. This update highlights the growing urgency to secure accessible, affordable treatments for all.
