These medications mimic the action of GLP-1, a natural hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite.
GLP-1s works on the brain’s appetite center to suppress hunger signals, reducing cravings and supporting weight loss.
It slows digestion, allowing food to stay in your stomach longer, which helps control blood sugar levels and promotes a feeling of fullness.
Important safety & regulatory information:
• Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved for safety, effectiveness, or quality. They are prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies for individual patients when clinically appropriate.
• Availability varies by state and pharmacy licensure. A prescription is required; clinicians determine if a compounded option is appropriate. Paloma Health is not a pharmacy.
• Compounded GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., semaglutide or tirzepatide) should not be described as the same as FDA-approved products and must not be marketed as such.
• GLP-1 medications can cause serious side effects. Do not use if you or a family member has a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2. Discuss risks, interactions, and monitoring with your clinician.
Full safety information:
This information does not replace medical advice. GLP-1 RAs are contraindicated in patients with a personal/family history of MTC or MEN2. Report severe abdominal pain (possible pancreatitis), signs of gallbladder disease, persistent vomiting/diarrhea, dehydration, or allergic reactions. Dose adjustments may be needed with certain diabetes meds. Not studied for weight loss in combination with other GLP-1 RAs. Discuss pregnancy planning and contraception with your clinician.
