Because commercial semaglutide and tirzepatide are currently on the FDA shortage list, compounding pharmacies may prepare these medications under specific conditions. Compounded versions of these treatments can play an important role in patient care when prescribed by a qualified healthcare provider.
Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are typically administered Subcutaneously (under the skin) in areas such as the stomach, thigh, or upper arm. Rotating injection sites and following your healthcare provider’s instructions on dosage and timing is essential. Injections are generally given once weekly, on the same day each week, with or without food.
Available Strengths:
- Semaglutide/Cyanocobalamin 2mg-0.4mg, 1mL vial
- Semaglutide/Cyanocobalamin 5mg-0.4mg, 2mL vial
- Tirzepatide 20mg/ml=1ml vial (20mg)
