One thing I'm seeing recently is the issue of peptides such as tirzepatide (brand name: "Mounajro". FDA approves it as a Type-2 Diabetes medication only, yet doctors were prescribing it for its dramatic effects on weight loss due to its appetite suppressant properties. I know doctors that are now refusing to prescribe it due to not wanting to get in trouble with either the FDA or DEA. The street price for this medication is $1,000 USD per month at most pharmacies in the United States today, which consists of four injections (once per week at 5mg per injection. The prohibitive cost of such a peptide naturally makes one look at labs overseas, which typically charge $1,000 USD per gram, equal to about four years of the peptide injections at 5mg per week dosage. It is sad that we have been forced to become our own pharmacists at home in order to get the drugs we need at reasonable pricing. This goes with all compounds, not just this example.
