What tirzepatide is
Tirzepatide is a peptide that acts on two receptors, GIP and GLP-1, both involved in blood sugar regulation and appetite signaling. It is given as a small injection under the skin.
The compounded version is prepared by a licensed 503A compounding pharmacy to your clinician's prescription. Compounded medications are not FDA approved and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety or efficacy.

1
Online intake
You answer questions about your health, history and goals. A licensed clinician in your state reviews it, usually without a live appointment. A video visit is available on request and required for the first prescription in a few states.
-
2
First prescription and labs
If appropriate, the clinician prescribes the starting dose and orders baseline labs at a national laboratory at no cost to you. In most cases you can start before the results are back.
-
3
Monthly reviews
Each month you update a short intake. The clinician reviews it with your labs and decides whether to hold or raise the dose. Nothing changes without that review.

Steady dose, quarterly reviews
Once your dose is steady, reviews move to every three months. Refills, changes and cancellation run through your patient portal.
Tirzepatide questions, answered
Is this the same as a brand-name medication?
No. This is a compounded medication prepared by a licensed 503A pharmacy to your clinician's prescription. Compounded medications are not FDA approved. Your clinician will discuss what that means for you.
How is the dose decided?
Your clinician starts at the lowest level and reviews a short update from you each month before any increase. There are five levels. You never move up without a review.
What does the price include?
The medication, injection supplies, clinician reviews, baseline labs at a national laboratory, shipping, and patient support around the clock. There is no separate consultation or physician fee.
What if I am not prescribed?
Nothing is ordered and your program payment is refunded in full.
Can I switch plans or cancel?
Yes. Cancel any time for any reason from your patient portal. Any month whose medication has not been ordered is refunded.
