Understanding your options

A conversation. A personal decision.

How tirzepatide works

Tirzepatide acts on two hormone receptors involved in appetite and blood-sugar regulation (GIP and GLP-1) and slows how quickly the stomach empties, so many people feel satisfied with less food. How much it helps varies from person to person. Your provider weighs your medical history, your other medications and your goals before recommending anything.

Considered when an approved option does not fit

Compounded treatment is meant for cases where an FDA-approved medicine cannot meet a patient's medical needs, as determined by the provider. Compounded tirzepatide is not FDA-approved and is not a generic version of, or equivalent to, any branded medication; the formulation is disclosed before it is prescribed and dispensed.

A dose guided by your provider

Your prescription and your measuring instructions are specific to you. Your provider starts low and increases gradually according to how you tolerate it, and answers questions along the way. Compounded medication is never selected by the patient.

Screening tool

Start with your BMI.

BMI uses your height and weight to estimate whether your weight falls within a healthy range for your height — one of the first things a provider looks at. BMI does not directly measure body fat and may not accurately reflect health for people with high muscle mass, pregnant women, children, older adults and some ethnic groups. It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis, and it does not determine eligibility. Providers generally consider GLP-1 therapy for adults with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more with a weight-related condition.

Pharmacy & compliance

Compounded by a licensed 503A pharmacy.

If a provider prescribes treatment, your medication is prepared by a state-licensed compounding pharmacy operating under Section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and shipped to your door.

How does tirzepatide work?

Tirzepatide acts on two hormone receptors involved in appetite and blood-sugar regulation (GIP and GLP-1) and slows how quickly the stomach empties, so many people feel satisfied with less food. How much it helps varies from person to person. Your provider weighs your medical history, your other medications and your goals before recommending anything.

Is compounded tirzepatide FDA-approved?

No. Compounded tirzepatide is prepared by a U.S. state-licensed pharmacy for an individual patient under a provider's prescription. The FDA does not review or approve compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness or quality, and compounded tirzepatide is not a generic version of, or equivalent to, any branded medication.

Can I start on a higher dose?

Usually not. Providers start low and increase gradually, because most side effects appear when starting or raising the dose. If you are switching from another provider, share your current medication and dose in the online visit; your provider takes it into account.

What are the common side effects?

Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, stomach pain, headache and tiredness are the most common, mostly when starting or increasing the dose. Serious side effects are rare but possible: read the Important Safety Information on this page before starting.

Semaglutide or tirzepatide — which one is right for me?

Semaglutide acts on one hormone receptor (GLP-1); tirzepatide acts on two hormone receptors (GIP and GLP-1). Your provider recommends one, or neither, based on your health history, goals and any medication you already take.

Which pharmacy fills my prescription?

If prescribed, your medication is prepared and shipped by our partner pharmacy, ( · ), a state-licensed compounding pharmacy operating under Section 503A. Certain medications, formulations or fulfillment options may vary by state. Forever Health Rx is not a pharmacy. See Pharmacy & Compliance.

What happens if I'm not approved for the medication?

If the licensed provider decides that treatment is not appropriate for you, you are notified with the reason and no medication is dispensed. Any amount you have already paid is refunded in full. Not everyone qualifies, and the provider may recommend a different path.

Safety

Your safety comes first.

Compounding and side effects

Compounded tirzepatide is not approved by the FDA, and the FDA does not review it for safety, effectiveness or quality. The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and abdominal discomfort, mostly when starting or increasing the dose.

Important risks

Serious risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, dehydration-related kidney injury, vision changes in people with type 2 diabetes and severe allergic reactions. Tirzepatide labeling carries a boxed warning about thyroid C-cell tumors based on animal studies; the risk in humans is unknown. Do not use with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2.

Talk with your provider

Review every medication you take and any plans for pregnancy with your provider before starting. Seek urgent care for severe or persistent stomach pain, vomiting, signs of an allergic reaction or any symptom that worries you. In an emergency, call 911.

Forever Health Rx does not provide emergency medical care. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if you are experiencing a medical emergency. For urgent questions about a serious side effect, message your care team through the patient portal and seek in-person care if symptoms are severe.

Important Safety Information — Compounded Tirzepatide Rx

Compounded drug notice

Compounded tirzepatide is prepared for an individual patient by a U.S. pharmacy licensed in the state where it dispenses, under a prescription from a licensed provider. Federal law permits compounded drugs to be prescribed, but they are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality. Compounded tirzepatide is not a generic version of, or equivalent to, any branded medication. Prescription required. Not everyone qualifies. Individual results vary.

Warning: risk of thyroid C-cell tumors

In rodent studies, tirzepatide caused thyroid C-cell tumors, including thyroid cancer. It is not known whether tirzepatide causes thyroid C-cell tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in people. Do not use tirzepatide if you or any of your family have ever had MTC, or if you have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Tell your provider right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing or shortness of breath.

What is tirzepatide used for?

Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. When prescribed for weight management it is used together with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity in adults with obesity, or with overweight and at least one weight-related medical condition. Whether it is appropriate for you is decided by your licensed provider after reviewing your health history. It has not been studied in combination with other GLP-1 medicines and is not for people with type 1 diabetes.

Do not use tirzepatide if you

  • or any of your family have ever had medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC);
  • have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2);
  • have had a serious allergic reaction to tirzepatide or any of its ingredients;
  • are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or breastfeeding;
  • are already taking another GLP-1 receptor agonist medicine.

How is tirzepatide taken?

Once a week, on the same day each week, as a subcutaneous injection under the skin of the abdomen, thigh or upper arm, with or without food. Your provider starts at a low dose and increases it gradually according to how you tolerate it. Use a new needle for every injection and never share vials, pens or needles with another person. Store and dispose of the medication as instructed by the dispensing pharmacy.

Before starting, tell your provider if you

  • have or have had problems with your pancreas, kidneys or gallbladder;
  • have type 2 diabetes or take insulin or a sulfonylurea;
  • have a history of diabetic retinopathy;
  • have severe stomach problems such as slowed emptying of the stomach (gastroparesis) or problems digesting food;
  • have a history of depression, suicidal thoughts or mental health problems;
  • are scheduled for surgery or a procedure with anesthesia;
  • take any other prescription or over-the-counter medicines, vitamins or supplements, including oral medications whose absorption may be affected.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Tirzepatide should not be used during pregnancy and may harm an unborn baby. If you plan to become pregnant, stop tirzepatide at least two months beforehand, as it stays in the body for a long time. It is not known whether tirzepatide passes into breast milk; discuss feeding options with your provider. Tirzepatide may reduce the effectiveness of oral birth control pills; your provider may recommend a non-oral or barrier method for four weeks after starting and for four weeks after each dose increase.

Serious side effects — get medical help right away

  • Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis). Stop using tirzepatide and contact your provider right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area that will not go away, with or without vomiting.
  • Gallbladder problems, including gallstones. Tell your provider if you get pain in the upper stomach, fever, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or clay-colored stools.
  • Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially if you also take insulin or a sulfonylurea. Signs include dizziness, sweating, confusion, shakiness, fast heartbeat and blurred vision.
  • Kidney problems (kidney failure). Vomiting or diarrhea can cause dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems.
  • Serious allergic reactions. Get medical help right away for swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, trouble breathing or swallowing, a severe rash or itching, or a very rapid heartbeat.
  • Changes in vision in people with type 2 diabetes.
  • Increased heart rate.
  • Depression or thoughts of suicide. Pay attention to any sudden changes in mood, behavior, thoughts or feelings.
  • Severe stomach problems, including stomach paralysis (gastroparesis) or intestinal blockage (ileus).
  • Aspiration during surgery. Food may remain in the stomach longer; tell any provider planning a procedure with anesthesia that you use tirzepatide.

Common side effects

Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, stomach pain, headache, tiredness, upset stomach, dizziness, feeling bloated, belching, gas, heartburn, hair loss and injection-site reactions. Digestive symptoms are most common when starting or increasing the dose and often ease over time. These are not all the possible side effects. Contact your provider for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
