Compounded GLP-1 Candidates

If you're exploring options for medically guided weight loss, compounded GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide may be part of the solution. These medications mimic natural hormones in your body that regulate appetite and glucose, helping support long-term weight management when combined with healthy lifestyle changes. But not everyone is a fit for this type of therapy, and that's why a medical consultation is the first and most important step.

At Vigor Compounding, we work exclusively with licensed healthcare providers to deliver safe, personalized GLP-1 treatment plans. Our compounded medications are tested for sterility and potency in certified labs and uniquely formulated with vitamin B6 to potentially improve tolerability and reduce side effects like nausea, with the goal of giving more patients the opportunity to stick with their plan and see results.

Who Is a Candidate for Compounded GLP-1?

Every patient is different, but in general, adults who are medically overweight or obese may be considered for GLP-1 treatment. This often includes individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher accompanied by a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, insulin resistance, or prediabetes.

In addition to your weight, providers may evaluate your overall metabolic health, blood sugar levels, history of unsuccessful weight loss attempts, lifestyle, and ability to commit to a long-term plan. If you've struggled with yo-yo dieting or plateaued with traditional approaches, compounded GLP-1s like semaglutide or tirzepatide could be an option worth exploring.

In summary, you may be a good candidate for compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide if…

  • Your BMI is 30 or higher.
  • Your BMI is 27 or higher, and you have a weight-related condition.
  • You've had difficulty losing weight through diet and exercise alone.
  • You're committed to making sustainable lifestyle changes alongside medical treatment.
  • Your provider believes GLP-1 therapy is a safe and appropriate option based on your health history and goals.

Why Some People May Not Qualify for Semaglutide or Tirzepatide

While compounded GLP-1 therapy is safe and effective for many, it isn't right for everyone. You may not be a candidate if you:

  • Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC)
  • Have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2)
  • Are currently pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have had a severe allergic reaction to similar medications

Other factors that may require extra consideration include:

  • Liver or kidney disease
  • A history of pancreatitis
  • Certain gastrointestinal conditions

Eligibility can only be determined through a one-on-one consultation with a qualified medical provider who will review your full health history and weigh the risks and benefits that may apply to your unique situation.

When B6 Makes the Difference

GLP-1 medications can cause side effects, especially in the first few weeks. The most common is nausea, which can make some patients want to quit before seeing results. At Vigor Compounding, we formulate every dose of compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with vitamin B6, a nutrient thought to help reduce nausea and improve medication tolerance. If you've had trouble with GLP-1s in the past or are nervous about side effects, B6-enhanced treatment might be a better option.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I Take GLP-1 Medications If I'm Not Overweight But Want To Lose A Few Pounds?

    GLP-1 medications like compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are typically prescribed for individuals who are medically overweight or obese. If your BMI is below 27 and you don't have any weight-related health conditions, you may not be considered an ideal candidate. However, a consultation is the only way to know for sure. A licensed provider will assess whether these medications are appropriate for your situation.

  • Are GLP-1s Safe If I Have Type 2 Diabetes Or Insulin Resistance?

    Yes. GLP-1 medications were originally developed to help manage Type 2 diabetes. Many patients with insulin resistance or elevated blood sugar levels benefit from treatment. However, these medications still require provider oversight to ensure they align with your broader care plan.

  • Can I Take GLP-1s If I'm On Birth Control Or Hormone Therapy?

    In most cases, GLP-1s don't interfere with hormonal medications. However, it's essential to share all prescriptions and medical history with your provider so they can evaluate any potential interactions.

  • Do I Need To Try Diet And Exercise First Before Being Eligible?

    GLP-1 therapy is intended to work alongside healthy habits, not replace them. Providers may ask about your past efforts to lose weight and assess whether medication could help you overcome persistent challenges.
