At our medical practice, we offer compounded GLP-1 medications for weight loss. These medications, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, are used to help manage weight for those with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or greater, or 27 or greater if you have conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol. A compound medication is a customized form of a drug prepared by a pharmacist to meet the specific needs of a patient and offers a more affordable option over brand name medications if your insurance does not cover the brand name medications.
We partner with Voshell Pharmacy in Baltimore to provide overnight delivery of compounded semaglutide for $200 per month and tirzepatide for $300-350 per month, depending on the dosage. Shipping and handling may vary. Our providers can prescribe these medications and manage your treatment through regular, insurance-covered appointments.
It's important to know that semaglutide can be used with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes, and it helps reduce the risk of serious heart problems in adults with type 2 diabetes and heart disease. For weight management, semaglutide is effective when combined with lifestyle changes. However, you should call your doctor immediately if you experience signs of a thyroid tumor, such as swelling or a lump in your neck, trouble swallowing, a hoarse voice, or shortness of breath. Always discuss your full medical history with your healthcare provider before starting semaglutide to ensure it is safe for you.
Our team is committed to providing personalized care and support for your weight loss journey. With the convenience of overnight delivery and the guidance of our skilled providers, achieving your weight loss goals has never been easier. If you have any questions or need more information about these medications, don't hesitate to contact us.
