How Oral GLP-1’s Work
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) treatments are named for the hormone receptor they target. These medications work by stimulating insulin production and may help reduce appetite when administered by injection or taken orally.
When used alongside diet and exercise, GLP-1 treatments can be part of a comprehensive approach to support weight management.
There are various GLP-1 treatment options available. It is important to consult with a licensed healthcare provider to determine which option, if any, is appropriate for your individual health needs.
What are Compounded Medications?
Compounded medications are prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider following an individualized medical assessment.
These medications are prepared by licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies operating under Section 503A or FDA-registered outsourcing facilities under Section 503B.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and do not undergo the FDA’s pre-market review process. They may differ from FDA-approved products in terms of safety, effectiveness, risks, and side effects. Clinical trial data from FDA-approved medications should not be assumed to apply to compounded versions. Weight Loss MD partners exclusively with licensed U.S.-based compounding pharmacies that comply with federal and state regulations.
