We offer compounded Semaglutide (same active ingredient as Ozempic/Wegovy) starting at $179/month and compounded Tirzepatide (same active ingredient as Mounjaro/Zepbound) starting at $259/month.

GLP-1 medications mimic a hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar. They slow digestion, reduce hunger, and help you feel full longer. Most patients experience significant appetite reduction within the first few weeks.

Both are effective for weight loss. Semaglutide targets GLP-1 receptors, while Tirzepatide targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors (dual action). Clinical studies show Tirzepatide may produce slightly more weight loss, but both are highly effective.

Both medications are self-injected once weekly using a small insulin-style needle. Most patients find it quick and nearly painless. We provide detailed instructions and all necessary supplies.

The most common side effects are mild nausea, constipation, or diarrhea — especially when starting or increasing dosage. These typically improve as your body adjusts. Serious side effects are rare but are discussed during your provider consultation.

You may be eligible if you have a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27+ with a weight-related condition (like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol). You must be 18-75 years old with no contraindicated conditions.

GLP-1 medications are not appropriate for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or have a history of pancreatitis.

Standard shipping takes 3-5 business days. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout for an additional fee.

The medication should be refrigerated upon arrival, so we recommend being available to receive it. If you have a refrigerated delivery box or a trusted neighbor, that works too.

Currently, we only ship within the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii.

Results vary, but clinical studies show average weight loss of 15-20% of body weight with Semaglutide and 20-25% with Tirzepatide over 12-18 months. Combined with diet and exercise, many patients exceed these averages.

Most patients notice reduced appetite within the first 1-2 weeks. Visible weight loss typically begins within the first month. Maximum results are usually seen after 3-6 months of consistent use.

You can message your provider anytime through our secure patient portal. Providers typically respond within 24-48 hours. For urgent medical concerns, please contact your local healthcare provider or call 911.

Most patients respond well to GLP-1 medications. If you're not seeing results, your provider may adjust your dosage or recommend switching medications. We're committed to helping you find what works.
