Compounded GLP 1
Compounded GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) medications are customized formulations of GLP-1 receptor agonists, which are typically used to help manage weight and blood sugar levels in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Key Points about Compounded GLP-1:

- GLP-1 is a hormone that plays a crucial role in glucose metabolism, appetite regulation, and insulin secretion.
Compounding Process:
- Compounded medications are tailored by pharmacists to meet specific needs of patients, which can include different dosages or forms (like injectable solutions).
Compounding Process:
- Safety and Regulation: Compounded medications are not regulated in the same way as FDA-approved drugs, so it's essential to ensure that the compounding pharmacy follows strict guidelines. We contract through 501B pharmacies.
