Consent (Medication Specific)
You are requesting micro-dose therapy with a GLP-1 receptor agonist (e.g., semaglutide) or a GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist (e.g., tirzepatide) to support metabolic health, appetite regulation, reduction of inflammation, and cellular well-being. These very low doses are below the standard therapeutic range and are intended to explore potential wellness benefits. This is considered “off-label” and is not an FDA approved use of this medication.
Compounded Formulations
Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are custom-prepared by a licensed pharmacist to meet individual needs. Because compounded medications are not subject to the same extensive clinical trials as FDA-approved products, their consistency, efficacy, and safety profiles may vary.
Potential Benefits
- Support for metabolic balance and appetite control
- Potential reduction in systemic inflammation
- Early/preliminary neuroprotective or anti-aging effects
- Enhancement of cellular “well-being”
Potential Side Effects
Although micro-dosing may lower risk, these therapies can still cause adverse reactions, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, decreased appetite, indigestion, pancreatitis, gallbladder issues, kidney impairment, allergic reactions, and gastroparesis.
Risks and Considerations
Compounded formulations may vary in potency and purity. Inform your provider immediately if you experience side effects.
Monitoring and Follow-Up
Regular follow-up visits will assess your response, adjust dosing, and monitor for side effects.
