Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are medications used primarily to manage type 2 diabetes by helping to regulate blood sugar levels. They are also prescribed for weight management in certain patients. Compounded versions of these medications are customized formulations created by a compounding pharmacy to meet specific patient needs.

The FDA recommends GLP-1 receptor agonists like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for weight loss if you meet one of the following criteria:

• Have a body mass index (BMI) of 27 kg/m² or greater and at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
• Have a BMI of 30 kg/m² or greater.

If you are considering Semaglutide or Tirzepatide for weight loss, your first step should be consulting your primary care physician (PCP) or an obesity specialist. They will review your medical history and guide you in the best treatment options. If you have diabetes and are already taking a different medication, discuss with your physician about safe drug combinations.

Weight loss results can vary based on individual factors such as dosage, adherence to the medication, diet, and exercise. Clinical studies have shown that patients taking Semaglutide or Tirzepatide for weight management can lose a significant amount of weight, with some studies reporting an average weight loss of 10-15% of body weight over a period of 68 weeks. However, individual results may vary, and it’s important to follow your healthcare provider’s guidance and maintain a healthy lifestyle for optimal results.
