Compounded Tirzepatide is a prescription medication commonly used to support weight management and metabolic health when combined with healthy lifestyle habits, such as proper nutrition and regular physical activity.

Tirzepatide works through dual hormone receptor activity (GLP-1 and GIP), which may help regulate appetite and support blood sugar control. Individual results may vary.


Important Note on Formulation

Depending on the partnering pharmacy, your compounded Tirzepatide may be provided **with or without Glycine** (or B12 in some cases). All formulations contain the active ingredient Tirzepatide.

You can confirm your specific formulation by checking your prescription label or vial. Your licensed provider determines the appropriate option based on your clinical profile.


What's Included

Your compounded Tirzepatide order typically includes:

  • Medication vials

  • Syringes

  • Dosing and administration instructions


Potential Benefits

When used as prescribed and paired with healthy habits, compounded Tirzepatide may help:

  • Support appetite control and reduce cravings

  • Promote gradual weight loss

  • Assist with blood sugar regulation

  • Support metabolic and insulin-related functions

Some studies suggest dual hormone activity may provide metabolic benefits in certain patients. Outcomes vary based on individual health factors and adherence to treatment.

If formulated with Glycine, the added amino acid may support general metabolic or nutritional functions, depending on individual needs.


Considerations

  • Weight loss with compounded Tirzepatide is typically gradual

  • Progress may slow or plateau without ongoing treatment or lifestyle support

  • Continued use is often needed to maintain results


Common Side Effects

Some patients may experience:

  • Nausea

  • Constipation

  • Diarrhea

  • Upset Stomach

  • Decreased Appetite

Always review side effects with your provider.

Safety & Regulatory Notes

  • Compounded medications are **not FDA approved as finished products**, but are prepared by licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies under Section 503A regulations

  • Always follow your provider’s instructions, pharmacy label, and dosing schedule

  • Contact your provider through the Patient Portal if you have questions or experience concerning symptoms


Consistency meets support.
