Why does my medication look different or require different syringe

Why your new vial may look different, require a different syringe, or have a different concentration and what to do about it.

It's normal for your medication's color, label format, or the number of syringe units to change between shipments. These changes usually come from one of three sources: a switch between added vitamins (B6 vs. B12), a concentration change in the vial, or your order being fulfilled by a different pharmacy partner.

If the color changed: This reflects a change in the added vitamin, not the active medication. Tirzepatide with B6 appears clear or slightly yellow; semaglutide with B12 appears pink or red; our additive-free (Pure) formulations have no B-vitamin tint. All formulations are safe and effective.

If the units changed: Check the concentration on your new vial label (e.g., 10 mg/mL vs. 20 mg/mL). Your provider will update your instructions to match. Always confirm your dose in milligrams, not just units, before injecting.

If the label format or pharmacy name changed: As of April 2026, Belle works with multiple pharmacy partners (The Pharmacy Hub/BPI Labs, Hallandale, Bourdeaux, and VialsRx). Your order is routed based on your medication, any B-vitamin allergy you reported, and the state you live in. A different partner may use a different label format, vial size, or concentration.
