They use the same active ingredients as Ozempic and Wegovy (semaglutide) but are not FDA-approved, as they are customized for specific prescriptions.
GLP-1s (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) are hormones that regulate blood sugar and appetite.
GLP-1 medications mimic these hormones, slowing digestion and reducing appetite to support weight loss and diabetes management.

Tirzepatide mimics both GLP-1 and GIP, aiding in blood sugar and fat storage management, which reduces appetite and promotes weight loss.

Use a new needle and rotate injection sites to prevent irritation.
