What is semaglutide and tirzepatide?

They are synthetic proteins that, when processed by our bodies:

Increase Insulin production (this helps lower blood sugar levels)
Slow stomach emptying, which does two things:

-Makes us feel full sooner which helps control portions

-Keeps us feeling full longer which helps avoid unhealthy snacks, or eating too often

Once we’ve eaten enough food, we should feel satisfied and a signal in the brain should say “I have had enough!” Sometimes our gut no longer signals the brain the way it should, which can cause us to keep eating, leading to weight gain. Both of these proteins amplify gut signals so we can know when to stop eating.

Statement Regarding Compounded Medications

Please read and sign below, thank you!

I understand that the semaglutide and tirzepatide I am receiving from Dr. Kate Pierce is a compounded form created by a compounding pharmacy, Grand Avenue Pharmacy (GAP), out of Texas. The FDA does not formally approve compounded medications.

Novo Nordisk is the company that has FDA approval of the injectable brand names Ozempic and Wegovy.

Eli Lilly is the company that has FDA approval of the injectable brand names Mounjaro and Zepbound.

Because semaglutide is on the FDA Drug Shortage List, it can be compounded and sold by other pharmacies without FDA approval. Tirzepatide is no longer on the Drug Shortage list, but some patients require different dosing - these doses are only available in the compounded form, therefore allowing continued dispensing through GAP. The formulations from Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly and a compounding pharmacy are similar but slightly different as required by patent laws and corporate ownership. Please be aware that the compounded form through Grand Avenue Pharmacy (GAP) is from a base powder formula and does not contain any salts. GAP’s compounded products are rigorously quality tested and are equally effective as the Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly products.
