In this letter, Lilly told clinics that they could no longer promote or sell compounded tirzepatide. Unsurprisingly, this comes in the wake of recent news of Eli Lilly self-announcing that they think tirzepatide will come off shortage very soon. The tirzepatide shortage status, as listed on the FDAs own website, is still not marked Resolved.
