Individual Results May Vary: The effectiveness of compounded weight loss medications, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, for medical weight loss varies from person to person.

Compounded Medications and FDA Status: The compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide medications prescribed by ZYP through Strive Pharmacy have not been evaluated or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety, efficacy, or quality. The compounded versions of these medications do not carry FDA approval.
Medical Discretion and Compounding: At ZYP, a licensed healthcare provider may prescribe compounded medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide if it is determined that they are medically appropriate and necessary for your specific health needs. Compounded medications are custom-made by a licensed pharmacy based on a healthcare provider's prescription and may be used when an FDA-approved medication is not suitable for a particular patient.
Risks and Considerations: It is important to understand that while compounded medications are often prescribed to meet individual needs, they may carry risks, including variations in potency, purity, and safety. Patients should discuss potential risks, benefits, and alternatives with their healthcare provider before starting any compounded medication.
