Compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide injections for sustainable weight loss, supervised by our medical team.

Important: We use compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide formulated by licensed specialty compounding pharmacies. These are not the brand-name medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound).

Results vary by individual, but clinical studies show patients on Semaglutide lose an average of 15-20% of their body weight, while Tirzepatide patients have seen even higher results. Your personal results will depend on your starting weight, dosage, and lifestyle factors.
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal and typically mild, including nausea, constipation, or diarrhea. These often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. We start with lower doses and gradually increase to minimize side effects.
While the medications help reduce appetite, combining them with healthy eating habits and regular physical activity will maximize your results and help maintain weight loss long-term. We provide guidance on nutrition during your treatment.
Treatment duration varies. Many patients continue medication long-term to maintain their weight loss, while others may gradually taper off once they've reached their goals and established sustainable habits. We'll work with you to determine the best approach for your situation.

Compounded medications contain the same active ingredients but are prepared individually by compounding pharmacies rather than manufactured by pharmaceutical companies. This allows us to offer these treatments at a more affordable price point.
