Semaglutide and Tirzepatide

 —This informational section is designed to provide the information you need to make an informed decision and give your consent/confirmation of whether or not to undergo Weight Loss Treatment with Semaglutide or Tirzepitide Compounded-medication(s). 

  What is Compounded Semaglutide/Cyanocobalamin/Glycine?

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It assists in increasing insulin secretion and synthesis. GLP-1 suppresses glucagon secretion, slows gastric emptying, reduces your appetite, and promotes beta-cell proliferation thus increasing glycemic control.

Cyanocobalamin is a (B) vitamin that has an important role in protein synthesis, neural metabolism, DNA and RNA production, as well as fat and carbohydrate metabolism.

 Glycine is an amino acid naturally
found in foods or you may take as a supplement. Glycine supplementation can
reduce inflammation and muscle wasting. It has been found to be beneficial for preserving muscle mass and
stimulating the loss of adipose (fatty) tissue.  

Definition: 503B pharmacy is an outsourcing facility that engages in large-scale compounding of sterile medications without individual patient prescriptions. Regulation: These pharmacies operate under section 503B of the FDCA, which was introduced by the Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA) in 2013. Unlike 503A pharmacies, they are subject to federal oversight by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and must comply with current good manufacturing practices (cGMP). Characteristics: 503B pharmacies focus on producing compounded medications on a larger scale, often to address shortages or provide healthcare facilities with a reliable supply of certain medications. They follow more stringent quality and safety standards compared to 503A pharmacies.

In summary, while both 503A and 503B pharmacies are involved in pharmaceutical compounding, they differ in terms of their scale, regulatory oversight, and the nature of their operations. 503A pharmacies cater to individual patient prescriptions and comply with state regulations, while 503B pharmacies operate on a larger scale, serving healthcare facilities and adhering to federal regulations under the FDA.
