GLP-1 Medication Options, Additives, and Program Types

GLP-1 Medication Options, Additives, and Program Types

GobyMeds offers compounded GLP-1 medications, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, through licensed provider review and partner pharmacy fulfillment. Available products, pharmacy options, and additives may vary based on the patient’s state, selected program, current pharmacy availability, and provider determination.

What GLP-1 medications are

GLP-1 medications are used as part of a medical weight loss program. They may help reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness, slow digestion, and support weight loss when paired with nutrition, movement, and safe dosing guidance.

GobyMeds compounded GLP-1 options include:

  • Semaglutide: a GLP-1 receptor agonist.

  • Tirzepatide: a medication that acts on both GLP-1 and GIP pathways.

Compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide are not FDA-approved products, but they may be prescribed by a licensed provider when appropriate.

Semaglutide options

GobyMeds partner pharmacies offer compounded semaglutide with vitamin additives. Current semaglutide availability can vary by pharmacy and state of residence.

Important points for patients:

  • Additive-free compounded semaglutide is not currently offered through GobyMeds partner pharmacies.

  • Semaglutide options may include B12 or B6.

  • A patient who wants a specific additive formulation should review product details carefully and contact GobyMeds if they need help choosing an option.

Tirzepatide options

GobyMeds partner pharmacies may offer compounded tirzepatide with or without certain additives, depending on availability.

Important points for patients:

  • Additive-free tirzepatide may be available through some partner pharmacies.

  • Tirzepatide may also be available with additives such as B3, B6, or B12.

Vitamin additives

Additives are product-specific and pharmacy-specific, and current availability should be confirmed during product selection.

Common additive categories may include:

  • Vitamin B3 / niacin: may support energy metabolism.

  • Vitamin B6 / pyridoxine: may support nutrient metabolism and may help some patients with nausea.

  • Vitamin B12 / cyanocobalamin or methylcobalamin: may support energy, red blood cell production, and nerve health.

Specific additives may not be available for every patient, pharmacy, or medication. Additive availability varies, and patients should review the options shown in their product selection flow.

Program and bundle options

GobyMeds may offer different program or dosage depending on medication and pharmacy availability.

Common bundles include:

  • Starter plans: for patients beginning GLP-1 treatment or restarting after a significant break.

  • Step-up plans: for patients gradually increasing dose under provider guidance.

  • Consistent-dose plans: for established patients continuing a dose that is already working for them.

The exact product and dosage available to a patient may depend on the medication selected, provider review, pharmacy availability, and the patient’s treatment history.

When patients should contact GobyMeds

Patients should contact GobyMeds or use Medical Chat if they:

  • Are unsure whether semaglutide or tirzepatide is appropriate for them.

  • Prefer a specific additive or want to avoid a specific additive.

  • Need help understanding the medication, additive, or pharmacy shown during selection.

  • Think they want to switch medication type, pharmacy, additive, or dosage.

  • Have questions about whether a product is appropriate based on their medical history.
