It’s $275 a month plus $99 every 6 months at SlimDownRX. The compounded pharmacies are helping.

It won't be for long. That can only exist because of the FDA Shortage List, and with the official manufacturers releasing single dose vials, it is only a matter of "when" not "if" it won't be classed as shortage, and you're back to paying $1K.
Why would classifying it a shortage make it expensive?
Classifying it as a shortage makes it cheap. It will get expensive when it is off the shortage list.
That makes no sense.
The FDA shortage list allows compound pharmacies to produce it without paying for patents/licensing.
Being on the shortage list is what allows compounders to sell it. Once that is no longer true, that option goes away.
$39/month from the top chinese vendors
Tell me more…
