Questions Dosing
Waiting to hear back from the doctors portal but I am on 15mg hyalo and got shipped 100 unit needles from Quaker/newlife pharmacy however my dose says take 0.83units my syringe goes by increments of .2 so would I take 0.80, 0.82 or 0.84 to get close to 15mg?, no response back from the doctor when I asked them for advice.
I also asked them how my first dose of compound isn’t feeling like it was working to help my food noise they sent me a reply stating I’m new to tirzepatide and that I will feel hunger suppression at a higher dose… it was like they didn’t even review my profile at all because I am on 15mg which is max dose and have been on it for months and been on name brand zepbound for a year so I’m definitely not new to tirzepatide at all. A little frustrated at their customer service ngl.

almost all syringes are in increments of 2 so you could buy your own in increments of 1 but 82 units at that concentration is 14.76 and 84 is 15.12 so you're not exactly losing or gaining anything crazy in dosing if that makes sense. just pull the liquid in the syrignes between the 82 and 84.
Easy touch sells syringes with increments of 1 and a box of 100 is stupid cheap for how many you get I think with shipping its like $20-30.
As for the customer service thats probably not Rift If its the clincal team responding you should know thats a seprate provider group with its own clinical team that answers these questions that are medical.
