Injections for Weight Loss

Schedule Free Virtual Consult

Studies show that patients can lose up to 15% of their body weight. These injections are self-administered at home, making it a convenient and accessible option for those looking to lose weight.

Semaglutide & Tirzepatide Injections for Weight Loss

Personalized dosing. Transparent pricing. Ongoing clinical support.

GLP-1 injections are peptide medications originally developed for type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide  and Tirzepatide are active ingredient. Both have shown substantial benefit for weight loss—clinical trials show patients may lose up to 15% of their body weight when combined with lifestyle changes

These medications are typically self-injected at home once a week, offering a convenient and accessible option for weight management.

What’s Changed: Compounding Restrictions

You may have heard that compounded versions of semaglutide and tirzepatide are more difficult to find. That’s because both medications have recently been removed from the drug shortage list.

Under current law, pharmacies are not allowed to compound a medication that is essentially a copy of a commercially available drug—unless specific exceptions apply.

One such exception is medical necessity. And that’s where we focus.

Compounding Based on Medical Necessity

At our clinic, we work closely with patients who may benefit from compounded medications for clinically appropriate reasons, including:

  1. Doses not available commercially (e.g., smaller increments for slower titration and better tolerability)
  2. Combination with supportive nutrients like B12 and glycine, which may help with energy, muscle preservation, or reduced side effects
  3. Ingredient sensitivities or allergies

These are recognized medical justifications for compounding, and we carefully evaluate each case to ensure compliance with state regulations.

We only prescribe compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide when medically necessary and when no suitable commercially available option meets your needs.

Considering Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide has shown slightly greater average weight loss in studies compared to semaglutide, but we typically recommend starting with semaglutide due to its lower cost and similar benefits. If your progress plateaus or side effects are difficult to manage, we may discuss switching.

If you believe you may benefit from a customized tirzepatide formulation, such as small-dose titrations or combination with other ingredients, schedule a consult so we can determine whether compounding is medically necessary in your case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Semaglutide and tirzepatide mimic hormones involved in appetite regulation and glucose control. Tirzepatide also acts on GIP receptors, making it a dual agonist.
Yes. These injections are approved for weight loss in adults with obesity or overweight plus a related condition like high blood pressure or cholesterol. Off-label use is common and supported by evidence.
Common side effects include nausea, bloating, fatigue, and constipation. Titrating the dose slowly helps minimize these.
In most cases, insurance plans do not cover these medications for weight loss. If we determine that you benefit from a custom formulation or dose, you may have access to compounded versions.
No. These medications are not recommended if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.
It typically takes 2–4 months to reach your optimal dose. We recommend staying on the program for at least 6 months to allow for metabolic changes and sustained weight loss. A lower maintenance dose is recommended indefinitely to sustain weight loss.
Whether you’re new to GLP-1 medications or looking for better-tolerated dosing options, we’re here to support you.

    "This clinic is GREAT! I've been using their compounded Semaglutide after a fruitless search for doctors/clinics to prescribe  tirzepatide. The clinic reviewed my request, prescribed the Semaglutide and I've been using it for a little over three months now; I've lost 35 pounds and I'm feeling great. They also follow my progress with regular check-ins via email and text. Whenever I have asked a question, via text, I've had a response within a few hours. Semaglutide works and this clinic makes it safe and effective."

    "When my PCP did not take my request for weight loss medication seriously, (she told me to eat grilled chicken and salad, so helpful,) I began to look around for help elsewhere. The Injection and Infusion Clinic made starting on Semaglutide relatively easy, safe and painless. I live out of town and was able to complete the majority of the intake process over email and text. They also recommended a youtube video demonstrating self-injection techniques that I found very helpful. They monitored me for side effects (only a little nausea) and weight loss, recommending a progression I was satisfied with. The office staff was super friendly and helpful when I picked up the medication."
