Weight loss

GLP-1 treatment, thoughtfully prescribed for you.

GLP-1 medications work with your body's natural appetite signals. With medical supervision, they can support a steadier, more sustainable approach to weight. Medication is one part of a plan that also includes nutrition and activity.

Compounded medications are prepared by a state-licensed compounding pharmacy pursuant to a valid prescription for an individual patient. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved; the FDA does not verify the safety, effectiveness, or quality of compounded medications.
All treatments require a valid prescription issued through a licensed telehealth evaluation. Not everyone is a candidate; medication is prescribed only when it is medically appropriate.

How treatment works

How GLP-1 treatment works

GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic a hormone your body already makes after eating. They help regulate appetite and increase the feeling of fullness, so it becomes easier to eat less without constant hunger. Your provider selects and adjusts treatment based on your health, your history, and how you respond over time.

Individual results vary, and no specific outcome is promised. Treatment works best alongside changes to nutrition and activity that your provider will discuss with you.

Boxed warning & who should not use it

GLP-1 medications carry a boxed warning for the risk of thyroid C-cell tumors. In studies, these medications caused thyroid tumors in rodents; it is not known whether they cause such tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in people.

This treatment is generally not appropriate if you have:

  • A personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC)
  • Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
  • Current pregnancy, plans to become pregnant, or breastfeeding
  • A history of pancreatitis or serious gastrointestinal disease

Side effects & what to watch for

The most common side effects affect the digestive system. Nausea is most common. Vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and reduced appetite may also occur. These effects often ease as your body adjusts to treatment.

Less common but serious risks can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney injury from dehydration, and allergic reactions. Your provider reviews the full risks with you before prescribing.

Seek immediate medical care for severe or persistent abdominal pain, a lump or swelling in the neck, trouble swallowing, shortness of breath, or signs of an allergic reaction.

Report suspected side effects to the FDA's MedWatch program at 1-800-FDA-1088 or fda.gov/medwatch.
