Switching from compound to name brand.
I’ve been taking compound for 8 months. The last 6 weeks 15 mg. Today at my annual physical my dr informed me that Zepbound is now covered by my insurance. Great! The only problem is they won’t let me go straight to 15mg. I have to start back at 2.5mg. When I asked about using compound to make up the difference she said she didn’t feel comfortable with that because it could be different, I might end up overdosing etc.
I don’t want to start over but I also want to use the medication I’ve already paid for.
Have any of you been in this situation? What did you do and how did it go?
Update: Thanks for all the advice and confirmation that combining the two isn’t a problem. They (the makers of zepbound) make such a big deal saying don’t combine that I got a little worried. lol
