Traditional pharmacies differ from compounding ones because they sell pre-made medications made by drug manufacturers. While there are big-chain pharmacies that offer compounding services, patients who want custom and affordable medications should consider compounding pharmacies.

Thanks to the internet, patients can easily find a compounding pharmacy. Online compounding pharmacies can create a customized dosage to your needs and deliver it to your door.

Every one’s body responds to the medication differently so there is no standard number of pounds you will lose, however to maximize results, a healthier diet and more exercise is advised to see better results.

In addition, clinical trials lasting 56 to 68 weeks, non-diabetic participants with obesity or overweight who used GLP-1 medications alongside diet and exercise lost an average up to 15% of their body weight. Comparatively, those who only followed a diet and exercise plan achieved weight loss of 3.5% to 2.4%.

Rehtse health works with compounding pharmacies that are licensed at the state level to create compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. Compounding is regulated by both FDA and state boards of pharmacy. A licensed compounding pharmacy must comply with both federal and state laws, which include administrative requirements and quality standards.

Compounding pharmacies mix, combine, or alter ingredients found in prescription medications. Doctors recommend them for many reasons, such as if patients need a custom dosage. Because compounded medications don’t have to go through numerous trials, they’re cheaper and quicker to receive.

Compounded Semaglutide  from Rehtse Health only costs $220 to $300 monthly, and compounded Tirzepatide cost $300 to $399 monthly depending on dosage and a monthly subscription fee of $100 till the end of program. There is also a consultation fee of $50 for a 30-minute initial call that will be applied to the 1st month’s prescription plan should the patient decide to start the program with our Professionals at Rehtse Health.  The Telehealth calls are included. We also offer 12 week packages which include diet plans, weekly check ins on how you are doing and many more incentives than the standard month to month programs. Whichever package you choose, we will work together to achieve your goal. Team work makes the dream work!!!!

Here’s how we can support your weight loss journey:

1. Online consultations: We connect patients with healthcare professionals through virtual consultations, discussing weight loss goals, medical history, and other factors without needing to visit a physical clinic.
2. Personalized plans: Based on the consultations, Rehtse healthcare professionals can develop personalized weight loss plans tailored to the specific needs, preferences, and lifestyle of each patient.
3. Prescription medications: If appropriate, our medical providers can prescribe weight loss medications, such Semaglutide or Tirzepatide online or other GLP-1 receptor agonists. Cost of medications is included in the program.

Ongoing support:  Rehtse Health provides ongoing support and follow-up consultations with healthcare professionals to monitor progress, address any concerns, and make adjustments to the weight loss plan as needed.

Semaglutide has shown significant weight loss in clinical trials.

• Step 1 Trial: Participants taking 2.4 mg of semaglutide which is the highest dose weekly lost an average of 14.9% of their body weight over 68 weeks, compared to 2.4% for those on placebo.
• Effectiveness: Effective in promoting substantial weight loss, with many patients losing 10% or more of their body weight.

Tirzepatide has shown more significant weight loss compared to semaglutide in some studies.

Patients taking the highest dose of tirzepatide (15 mg) lost an average of 21% of their body weight over 72 weeks, compared to 16% for those taking 1 mg of semaglutide.

Effectiveness: Tirzepatide demonstrates greater weight loss than semaglutide, with some patients achieving more than 20% weight loss

IN CONCLUSION: While both medications are effective for weight loss, compounded tirzepatide appears to offer greater weight loss compared to compounded semaglutide based on available clinical trial data. However, the choice between the two should be guided by individual patient needs, tolerance, side effect profiles, and the advice of our healthcare providers here at Rehtse Health.

Tirzepatide has many of the same gastrointestinal side effects as Semaglutide, but you should also take note of any allergic reactions. If you’re already taking Semaglutide, talk to your doctor before switching to Tirzepatide.

Availability. There are currently Semaglutide and tirzepatide shortages, and patients cannot get their prescriptions. Since compounding pharmacies make custom medications, patients can receive their medication quickly.

Customizability. Compounding pharmacies can customize Semaglutide and tirzepatide in various ways, such as by adjusting the dosage. This provides opportunities for you to discuss any unique needs with your doctor and compounding pharmacist and have a medication that’s more customized to your needs.

Affordability. Compounded Semaglutide  and tirzepatide costs significantly less compared to name-brand injections. With Compounded Semaglutide and tirzepatide, you’re not paying for the manufacturing, distribution, and marketing. All compounding pharmacies price their injections differently, depending on your unique prescription.
