Dear Patients and Emerge Family,
As some of you may be aware, the FDA has removed tirzepatide from the shortage list. This decision has significant consequences, as it now prevents compounding pharmacies from filling prescriptions for this critical medication. Despite the challenges many of you have faced—and continue to face—in obtaining tirzepatide, as well as the ongoing struggle to secure insurance coverage, the FDA decided to make this decision for reasons we can’t comprehend. Their decision has dealt a heavy blow to the well-being of hundreds of thousands of us who rely on this medication.
This is not the end of the story. We have seen GLP-1 medications removed from the shortage list before, only to be reinstated within a matter of weeks. We have limited time to act, and it is imperative that we work together to navigate these challenges. Please read below for more information on how we can all help each other.
Emerge’s Short-Term Plan: For the next 60 days, we will continue writing and sending prescriptions for tirzepatide to our pharmacies, as allowed by the FDA. This may include a change to your pharmacy to accommodate your order. Keep in mind that we only use the largest, most reputable pharmacies. Looking ahead, if the situation and pharmacy permits, we’ll offer the option to place orders for multiple months’ of tirzepatide. Please note this will not be in October. Don’t worry!––we will reach out to you giving you this option.
Our Long-Term Solution: Our primary goal has always been to provide the most effective solutions and the highest quality care for weight loss. We firmly believe tirzepatide is part of that solution. However, we must also prepare for the possibility that tirzepatide remains restricted. Therefore, in the days to come, we’ll launch of our Semaglutide Program. While tirzepatide has been highly effective for many, semaglutide has also shown great success, and it comes at a lower cost. Again, we will contact you directly and give you the option of switching. As always, we’ll guide you through the process.
What You Can Do: In times of uncertainty, the strength of our community becomes even more important. We ask that you make your voice heard by reporting your concerns to the FDA through the provided links. Additionally, we encourage you to reach out to your local congress members. Your advocacy is crucial in these challenging times.
We are committed to keeping you informed, supporting you, and ensuring that you continue to have access to the medications you need. Thank you for placing your trust in us. Together, we will emerge stronger.
Warm regards,
Emerge Team
