The source cards
Match the question to the right source.
Pick a source for the question you need answered. Medicine labels, public licence records and studies each offer a different kind of information.
Names and records
Use the person treating you and pharmacy names supplied in the offer. Ask for missing details before trying to match a record.
- The state medical board directory helps you find the board that keeps a doctor's licence record.
- FDA's pharmacy search page links to state records where you can look up a pharmacy's licence.
The product and the offer
As recorded on September 26, 2026, Mounjaro and Zepbound are among the FDA-approved products containing tirzepatide. Tirzepatide prepared to order by a pharmacy lacks FDA approval.
- Match the label to the exact product being discussed.
- Use FDA's rules for pharmacy-made medicine if an offer says the brand medicine is in short supply, or says a pharmacy can make a nearly identical version.
- Ask the person treating you to explain terms you cannot follow.
Results and coverage
A study speaks about its participants. A coverage page speaks about a program's terms. Bring each back to a question about your own situation.
- Ask which named trial an advertised result comes from.
- Ask your plan about its own medicine list and approval steps.
- Check the full Medicare criteria before relying on a program price.
