The U.S. Pharmacopeia Convention (USP) formally defines compounding as ‘the preparation, mixing, assembling, altering, packaging, and labelling of a drug, drug-delivery device in accordance with a licensed practitioner's prescription, medication order, or initiative based on the practitioner/patient/ pharmacist/compounder relationship in the course of professional practice.’ Products manufactured by a compounding pharmacy are customized according to the patient need.

The market for non-sterile compounding pharmacy is driven by an increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, rising need for customized medicine and increasing geriatric population. Furthermore, the demand for anti-aging products that use custom compounded drugs is growing in the U.S. and Europe. However, the strict regulations governing the manufacturing of the compounded product and high prices restrain the market growth.

A lawsuit was filed by Lilly in September 2023 for the protection of patients. Lilly cannot verify the safety or efficacy of any product claiming to contain tirzepatide that is not our own branded product. Therefore, we have filed lawsuits to protect patients from such illegal practices and also prevent medical spas, wellness centers, and compounding pharmacies from illegal advertising and selling non-FDA-approved compounded products fraudulently representing themselves as Mounjaro (tirzepatide). It is important that these entities stop selling drug products contrary to consumer protection laws since they mislead their customers into believing that their drugs are just like Mounjaro in terms of the same side effects and clinical benefits.
