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, slow down digestion, increase feelings of fullness, and support weight loss when paired with nutrition and movement.
The compounded GLP-1 medications 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 medical provider when appropriate.
Semaglutide options
GobyMeds partner pharmacies offer compounded semaglutide with or without additives, depending on availability. Current semaglutide availability can vary by chosen pharmacy and patient state of residence.
Important points for patients:
Additive-free compounded semaglutide is available through some partner pharmacies.
Compounded semaglutide is also available with additives such as B6 or B12.
Tirzepatide options
GobyMeds partner pharmacies may offer compounded tirzepatide with or without certain additives, depending on availability. Current tirzepatide availability can vary by chosen pharmacy and patient state of residence.
Important points for patients:
Additive-free compounded tirzepatide is available through some partner pharmacies.
Compounded tirzepatide is also 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. A patient who wants a specific additive formulation should review product details carefully and contact GobyMeds Customer Support if they need help choosing an option.
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. The addition of B12 causes the medication to appear a reddish or pinkish color.
Specific additives may not be available for every patient, pharmacy, or medication. Additive availability varies, and patients should review the options shown on their product selection page.
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 working well 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.
