Has anyone dealt with compounded tirzepatide reconstitution?

Bacteriostatic water quality matters for dosing arithmetic reconstitution. Not all BAC water is created equal:

• Should contain 0.9% benzyl alcohol as preservative
• Must be sterile and pyrogen-free
• Should come in a sealed, intact vial
• Check expiration date — yes, BAC water expires
• Store at room temperature, protected from light

I buy from a reputable medical supply company, not Amazon marketplace sellers. The $3 savings isn't worth the infection risk from unverified BAC water.

Reconstitution tip for anyone mixing dosing arithmetic from lyophilized powder: use bacteriostatic water, NOT sterile water. The benzyl alcohol in BAC water preserves multi-dose vials for up to 28 days.

Inject the water slowly down the side of the vial. NEVER shake — gentle swirling only until fully dissolved. Should be crystal clear with no particles.

One thing that is still open after VendorMark’s answer:

Why a shortage listing created a legal pathway at all, since a shortage is a supply fact rather than a permission?

Comparison of compounded dosing arithmetic delivery formats I've tried:

I use lyophilized vials for cost and stability. The reconstitution takes 30 seconds once you've done it a few times.

dan_philly has the substance of this right. The condition it depends on is worth stating. Worth adding the genuine exception, because it is real and narrow: a change made for an identified patient where the prescriber determines it produces a significant clinical difference for that patient. A grid of fixed doses offered to everybody is not that, whatever the intake form says.
