Frequently Asked Questions in Austin

Compounded GLP-1 medications contain the same active ingredient (semaglutide or tirzepatide) but are prepared by FDA-regulated 503B compounding pharmacies at a lower cost ($75-$349/month vs $900-$1,350/month for brand-name). Brand-name options like Wegovy, Ozempic, and Mounjaro are manufactured by large pharmaceutical companies and are fully FDA-approved. Both are effective for weight loss when prescribed by a licensed provider.

Research shows that some weight regain is common after discontinuing GLP-1 medication, with patients typically regaining about one-third of lost weight within a year.

Most patients begin noticing reduced appetite within the first 1-2 weeks of starting GLP-1 medication. Measurable weight loss typically begins within 4-8 weeks, with the most significant results occurring between months 3 and 12.
