A GLP-1 treatment plan built around you

We offer two types of GLP-1 medication, semaglutide and tirzepatide. Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are administered through a once-weekly subcutaneous injection using a tiny insulin syringe. For those who have a fear of needles, we also offer a once daily oral tablet option of semaglutide.

Choosing between semaglutide and tirzepatide depends on your goals. Both are effective GLP-1 agonists that promote weight loss. Semaglutide acts on the GLP-1 receptor, increasing insulin production and enhancing feelings of fullness. In contrast, tirzepatide activates two receptors—GLP-1 and GIP—potentially making it about twice as effective in clinical studies. If you’re aiming for greater weight loss, tirzepatide may offer an advantage.

A drug may be compounded for a patient who cannot be treated with an FDA-approved medication, such as a patient who has an allergy to a certain dye and needs a medication to be made without it, or an elderly patient or a child who cannot swallow a tablet or capsule and needs a medicine in a liquid dosage form. Practitioners in hospitals, clinics, and other health care facilities sometimes provide compounded drugs to patients when an FDA-approved drug is not medically appropriate to treat them. In these situations, compounding can serve an important patient need. 3

For our compounded GLP-1 or GLP-1/GIP injections, you’ll receive all weekly doses of your medications in one shipment and your dosage will be based on the prescription information you provide, your selections during our health screening process, and your provider’s discretion. Your order will also include alcohol pads and the syringes you need to take your injections.

Injectable GLP-1s are generally more effective because they bypass the digestive system, leading to better absorption in the bloodstream. Injections typically deliver a higher dose of the medication compared to oral forms, resulting in more significant weight loss in clinical studies. However, individual factors like metabolism and adherence to treatment can influence effectiveness. While injections generally offer better results, some people prefer the convenience of oral medication.

We currently partner with PerfectRx/PerfectionRx, ProRx, Casa, Pharmacy Hub and SmartPharmaRx.

These compounding pharmacies create customized medications tailored to individual prescriptions and are regulated by state boards and the FDA. They must adhere to USP (Pharmacopeial Reference Standards and Pharmacopeial Documentary Standards Method) standards and are also subject to specific sections of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA), including requirements for compounding drugs based on valid patient-specific prescriptions. The FDA also inspects these pharmacies to ensure they meet safety standards and do not compound under insanitary conditions.4
