Quick answer: Eden Pharmacy, LLC in Albuquerque, New Mexico compounded my tirzepatide and shipped it UPS 2nd Day Air in a white insulated pouch mailer with a foil liner, one large gel pack and one small Uline cold pack, still cold on arrival. The vial is tirzepatide 17 mg/mL with glycine 5 mg/mL in a 0.8 mL multi-dose vial, made October 20, 2026, with a beyond-use date of January 10, 2027. My directions were 18 units, or 0.18 mL, once a week for 4 weeks, which is about 3 mg, and the box held exactly four syringes and four alcohol pads.

Who reviewed this shipment?
I am a woman in my 30s who has been on compounded tirzepatide for 8 months and is at a 5 mg dose, so this was not my first box from a compounding pharmacy. I ordered through Eden. Eden Pharmacy is Eden's own pharmacy, and it is who actually made and mailed the medication.
Who is Eden Pharmacy?
The vial was filled by Eden Pharmacy, LLC in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which is Eden's own pharmacy. That matches what the homepage promised about making its own medication. The ship-from block on the UPS label and the pharmacy label on the zip bag both carry the same Albuquerque address, on Carmel Avenue NE, and a toll-free number, 833-677-8842. Every paper insert in the box is branded Eden Pharmacy, and the vial itself has no separate compounder's name on it, so this is a one-pharmacy order: the company that prescribed also owns the pharmacy that filled.
How did the Eden Pharmacy order arrive?
I ordered on Monday. The label says the prescription was filled on Tuesday. It shipped UPS 2nd Day Air from Eden Pharmacy in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and arrived on Saturday.
It came in a white insulated pouch mailer marked "PERISHABLE," with red fragile stickers and a green refrigerate-upon-arrival sticker. Inside was a silver insulated liner, one large gel pack and one small Uline cold pack. The UPS label listed it at 5 pounds. Nothing on the outside named the provider; the ship-from line is the pharmacy's.
The mailer, a little scuffed from the trip.

Did the medication arrive cold?
Everything was still cold when I opened it. Eden includes a "Temperature Stability Verified" card. It says testing showed the medication holds its potency for up to 5 days in transit, including 3 days at 104 degrees Fahrenheit, and that a warm box is no cause for concern within those conditions. It also says to refrigerate on arrival.
The two cold packs were a large unbranded white gel pack and a small 3-ounce Uline Cold Pack, the single-use kind. Both were intact and still cool on a Saturday delivery, four days after the fill date.
One large gel pack and one small Uline cold pack. Still cold on Saturday.
What does the Eden Pharmacy temperature card say?
The card is the pharmacy's own stability claim, and it is unusual in this series; most pharmacies send a storage card, not a potency claim. Transcribed:
Extensive potency testing has demonstrated that our compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide formulations remain stable during normal shipping conditions. Testing confirmed maintained potency for up to 5 days in transit, including sustained temperatures reaching 104°F (40°C) for 3 days. If your shipment arrives warm, there is no cause for concern provided it has remained within these validated conditions. Please refrigerate upon receipt and store between 36°F-46°F (2°C-8°C).
The card carries a "Tested. Verified. Trusted." seal and the pharmacy's three taglines. It does not say who ran the testing or where the results are published, so I'm reporting the claim as the card makes it. The storage range on the card matches the vial label, which says to refrigerate.
The temperature card. Eden says a warm box is fine within these limits; I didn't have to test that.
What came in the Eden Pharmacy box?
- One 0.8 mL amber multi-dose vial of compounded tirzepatide and glycine, with a red flip cap, inside a green Eden prescription bottle
- Four loose syringes with a 30-unit total volume
- Four alcohol prep pads
- One large gel pack and one small cold pack in an insulated liner
- A directions card for subcutaneous injection
- The temperature stability card
- A "Your Support is always on" card with a QR code for Eden's Member Care Hub
- A postcard for other Eden therapies, including hair, mood, longevity and muscle support
- An Eden Pharmacy tri-fold brochure
Four syringes and four alcohol wipes, for four weekly doses. That was odd to me. If you drop a needle, bend one, or have to redo an injection, you have no extra and have to buy your own.
The syringes themselves threw me too. They weren't the insulin syringes I'm used to. They were four loose syringes with a total volume of 30 units, and I had never seen one like that before. It was slightly confusing at first. My dose is 18 units, so it fits, and I'm glad I paid attention before drawing up my first dose. If you're switching from another provider, take a minute to look at the markings before you inject.
Everything in the box. Four syringes, four wipes, and a lot of cards.
Four and four. No spares.
What does the Eden Pharmacy label say?
There are two labels: one on the vial and one on the zip bag the bottle came in. The bag label is the dispensing record. Transcribed, with my details and the pharmacist's initials left out:
- Eden Pharmacy, LLC, 833-677-8842, Carmel Ave NE Suite 601, Albuquerque, NM 87122
- Date Filled: 2026-10-27
- QTY: 0.8 mL
- Rx number, patient name and date of birth
- Inject 18 units (0.18 mL) under the skin once weekly for 4 weeks. Discard 28 days after initial puncture.
- TIRZEPATIDE 17MG/ML GLYCINE 5MG/ML MDV (0.8ML) INJECTION SOLUTION
- Beyond Use Date: 2027-01-10
The pharmacy label on the bag: 18 units, filled October 27, BUD January 10.
What is in the Eden vial?
The label reads TIRZEPATIDE 17MG/ML GLYCINE 5MG/ML MDV (0.8ML) INJECTION SOLUTION. The directions say to inject 18 units (0.18 mL) under the skin once weekly for 4 weeks and to discard it 28 days after first puncture. Eighteen units at 17 mg/mL works out to about 3 mg, which matches the prescription message.
The vial was made on October 20, 2026, with a beyond-use date of January 10, 2027. It is amber glass with a red flip cap, smaller than the 2 mL and 3 mL vials from other pharmacies in this series. The vial label reads "Made: 10/20/2026," "Storage: Refrigerate," "This medication was specially compounded in our pharmacy for you at the direction of your prescriber," "Discard 28 days after 1st puncture," "0.8 mL," and the pharmacist's initials, with the lot number on the bottom line. Glycine is an amino acid; GLP Winner has an explainer on additives if you want to know what it's there for. There is no inactive-ingredient list on either label, which the Strive and SBH Medical vials in this series did carry.
The vial: 0.8 mL, made October 20, refrigerate.
The glycine side of the label and the BUD, January 10.
What dose is 18 units of this vial, and how far does 0.8 mL go?
On the 30-unit syringes in the box, 18 units is 0.18 mL. At 17 mg per mL, that is 3.06 mg of tirzepatide, which Eden rounds to 3 mg, plus 0.9 mg of glycine per dose. Four weekly doses use 0.72 mL of the 0.8 mL fill, leaving about 0.08 mL, less than half a dose, so there is nothing to stretch. The 28-day discard date and the four-week prescription line up exactly. GLP Winner has a helpful article on units and milligrams if you want to check your own label.
One thing worth knowing about the concentration: 17 mg/mL is higher than the 10 mg/mL vials from Strive and the 12.5 mg/mL vial from SBH Medical in this series. The same milligram dose is a smaller draw here, which is why a 30-unit syringe is enough and why reading the markings matters if you're switching pharmacies.
How long is the medication good for?
The beyond-use date is January 10, 2027, 82 days after the October 20 make date and 71 days after the box arrived. The vial and the bag label both say to discard 28 days after first puncture, so for a four-week prescription the 28-day rule, not the BUD, is the date that matters.
Can you reach a pharmacist at Eden Pharmacy?
The bag label carries the pharmacy's toll-free number, 833-677-8842. The "Your Support is always on" card points to Eden's Member Care Hub by QR code rather than to the pharmacy, and the postcard does the same. Neither card lists pharmacist hours or a pharmacist line, and nothing in the box says how to reach a pharmacist rather than the provider's care team. I didn't call the number for this review, so I can't tell you whether it reaches the pharmacy counter or the provider's support desk.

Final Takeaway
Eden Pharmacy got a cold, intact vial to my door four days after filling it, with a label that said exactly what the prescribing message said and a temperature card that explains what happens if a box runs warm. The vial is small and the concentration is high, so the dose math is tighter than on other pharmacies' vials in this series, and the four syringes leave no room for a mistake. Everything in the box is the pharmacy's or the provider's branding, and the two are the same company. Read the label against your prescription before your first shot, count your syringes, and keep the temperature card.

Frequently asked questions
Who is Eden Pharmacy?
Eden Pharmacy, LLC is a compounding pharmacy on Carmel Avenue NE in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and it is the pharmacy owned by Eden, the telehealth provider. My labels and every insert in the box carry its name.
Is Eden Pharmacy the same company as Eden?
Yes, as far as the labels and Eden's own website say. Eden's homepage says it makes its own medication in its U.S. pharmacy network, and my order was filled by Eden Pharmacy, LLC.
Do you know which pharmacy will fill your order before you pay?
With Eden, effectively yes, since the provider says it fills through its own pharmacy. The pharmacy's name and address appear on the shipping label and the bag label.
Does compounded tirzepatide from Eden Pharmacy arrive cold?
Mine did. It came UPS 2nd Day Air in a white insulated pouch mailer with a foil liner, a large gel pack and a small Uline cold pack, and it was still cold when I opened it on a Saturday.
What does the Eden Pharmacy temperature card mean?
It is the pharmacy's statement that its compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide held potency for up to 5 days in transit, including 3 days at 104°F, and that a warm box within those conditions is not a concern. The card does not say who tested it. Refrigerate on arrival either way.
What does 17 mg/mL glycine 5 mg/mL mean on the label?
Each milliliter contains 17 mg of tirzepatide and 5 mg of glycine. The 0.8 mL vial holds about 13.6 mg of tirzepatide in total.
How many milligrams is 18 units of this vial?
On a U-100 syringe, 18 units is 0.18 mL. At 17 mg per mL, that is 3.06 mg of tirzepatide, which Eden calls 3 mg, plus 0.9 mg of glycine.
How long does the 0.8 mL vial last?
Four weekly 0.18 mL doses use 0.72 mL, leaving about 0.08 mL. It is a one-month vial with no meaningful leftover.
What is the beyond-use date, and how long did mine have?
A beyond-use date is the date after which a compounded medication should not be used. Mine is January 10, 2027, 82 days after the make date. The 28-day discard after first puncture applies first.
How should compounded tirzepatide from Eden Pharmacy be stored?
The vial says to refrigerate, and the temperature card gives 36 to 46°F. Discard 28 days after first puncture.
Are syringes and alcohol pads included?
Yes, four of each, for a four-dose prescription. There are no spares. The syringes are 30-unit syringes, not the 100-unit insulin syringes other pharmacies send.
Does Eden Pharmacy include injection instructions?
Yes. A "Directions for Subcutaneous Injection" card came in the box, along with the temperature card, a support card, a postcard and a tri-fold brochure on NAD+, sermorelin and glutathione.
Can you talk to a pharmacist about a compounded order?
The bag label lists 833-677-8842. Nothing in the box names pharmacist hours or a separate pharmacist line, and the support cards point to Eden's Member Care Hub. I did not call for this review.
Does the vial list inactive ingredients?
Not on either label I received. The vial lists tirzepatide and glycine and the storage and discard directions; there is no excipient line like the sodium chloride and benzyl alcohol lists on other pharmacies' vials.
