What are GLP-1 medications?
add
GLP-1 medications are a method to help you lose weight by acting on your metabolism to make you feel less hungry. This way you eat less and lose more weight than you would with dieting and exercise alone.
Are there side effects to the medications?
add
When starting GLP-1 medication you may experience common side effects like nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting. These are normal and usually subside within a couple of weeks. If you experience more severe side effects, contact your provider directly through your personal portal. For a full list of side effects, click here.

What’s the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?

FDA-approved medicines such as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro® contain active ingredients like semaglutide or tirzepatide. These belong to a class of medicines called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which work by mimicking natural hormones that help regulate appetite and fullness.

Are these compounded GLP-1 medications FDA approved
add
No. Compounded medications are prepared by licensed pharmacies for individual patients with specific medical needs. They are not reviewed or approved by the FDA for safety or effectiveness. Compounding is only appropriate when an FDA-approved option is unavailable or unsuitable for the patient.
Do you serve all 50 states

No. Availability depends on provider licensure and partner pharmacy authorization in each state. We can only serve patients in states where our clinicians and pharmacies are licensed

Are compounded GLP-1s the same as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, or Mounjaro®

No. FDA-approved products (Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®) have undergone FDA review for safety and effectiveness. Compounded medications are custom-prepared and do not carry FDA approval
