Whose names these are

This site names a lot of companies and products it has nothing to do with. None of those names belong to us, and using one is not a claim to it.

The approved brands

Mounjaro and Zepbound are registered trademarks of Eli Lilly and Company. They are the FDA-approved products containing tirzepatide, and this site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or operated by Eli Lilly. Where we quote a price for the approved product it is Lilly’s own published direct price, used to give the compounded market something to be compared against.

Everything this site says about the approved products comes from Lilly’s own labeling and its own published pricing, cited to the document and the revision. It is not a statement made on Lilly’s behalf, and Lilly has no involvement in what appears here.

Other medicines named here

Wegovy, Ozempic, Rybelsus and Saxenda are registered trademarks of Novo Nordisk A/S, and appear only where a comparison requires them — most often on the pages weighing tirzepatide against semaglutide. This site is not affiliated with Novo Nordisk either.

Any other product name, device name or company name on this site is the trademark of whoever owns it, whether or not it is marked as such on the page. The absence of a symbol beside a name is not a challenge to it.

The molecule

Tirzepatide is a generic drug name, not a brand. It is the active ingredient in the approved products above and in the compounded preparations this site indexes — but a compounded preparation is not an approved product, has not been through FDA review, and does not inherit the approved product’s labeling. What is actually different →

That is why the index never describes a compounded vial by a brand name. Calling one “compounded Zepbound” would attach an approval to something that does not have it, which is a factual error before it is a trademark problem.

Sellers named here

Every seller name, logo and brand on this site belongs to that seller. We list them because they sell compounded tirzepatide in the United States and a price index that omitted them would not be an index.

Where a seller trades under more than one brand, or where one operating company runs several storefronts, the index says so and names the operating entity as it appears in public records — because the difference matters to a reader comparing what look like two independent sellers and are not.

Why the names appear at all

A comparison necessarily identifies what is being compared, and the only way to identify a product is by its name. Naming a mark to refer to the thing it names — rather than to trade off its reputation — is what trademark law calls nominative use, and it is the whole of the use here.

Nothing on this site is styled to resemble a manufacturer’s or a seller’s own branding, no logo of theirs is used as an ornament, and no page is built to be mistaken for a company’s own. Every outbound button is styled identically to every other one, which is a commercial rule here first and a trademark one second.

No endorsement, in either direction

Being listed is not an endorsement by us of that seller, and it is not an endorsement by that seller of this site. Some sellers here have a commercial relationship with us and some have never heard of us; the order of the table is decided by price either way. How this site makes money →

Nor is anything published here an endorsement beyond what it actually says. A seller appearing at the top of the index is the cheapest computed month in the index on the date shown, and nothing more than that.

This site’s own name

The name of this site, its wordmark, its page designs and its charts are ours. Quoting a figure from the index with attribution and a link is welcome, and it is set out in the terms of use. What is not welcome is using the name in a way that suggests this site produced, endorsed or checked something it did not.

If you own one of these marks

Write to legal@compoundedtirzepatide.org, naming the mark and the page it appears on. It is handled the way any other report of an error is handled: the page is opened, the use is looked at, and you get an answer. How corrections work →
