Compounded Injections for Weight Control

When trying to lose weight and keep it off, maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise are an ideal starting point. However, additional steps like compounded injectables can support your long-term weight management goals. Compounding offers a tailored approach, where pharmacists create customized formulations by mixing or altering ingredients to meet each patient’s specific needs. Discussed below are some of the compounded medications that may be prescribed to help you reach your long-term goals:

  • Compounded Weight Loss Shots – Unlike commercial versions, compounded weight loss shots may include different ingredients or additional components for specific prescription formulations or adjustments in dosages.
  • Compounded Peptide-Assisted Injections – Compounded peptide-assisted injections emerged as a vital solution for patients during national medication shortages and personalized prescriptions that align with an individual’s unique medical requirements.
  • Compounded Weight Medications – Compounded weight medications contains the active ingredient found in well-known medications, but is prepared in a compounding pharmacy for each individual’s prescriptive needs.
  • Compounded NAD+ – NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a naturally occurring coenzyme found in cells that plays a critical role in cellular energy production, DNA repair and overall cell health.
  • Compounded Lipo-B (MIC+B12) – By enhancing metabolism, components like vitamin B12, methionine, choline, and inositol, work together to promote fat breakdown and improve liver function.
  • Compounded GAC (glutamine, arginine, carnitine) – GAC injections are prepared by a compounding pharmacy as an innovative blend of amino acids (glutamine, arginine and carnitine) to enhance wellness.
  • Compounded Glutathione – This compounded tripeptide is composed of three amino acids (glycine, cysteine, and glutamate) and vital for maintaining cellular health that plays a key role in detoxification.
  • Compounded Sermorelin – Sermorelin is a 29-amino acid polypeptide that acts as a synthetic version of a growth hormone that leads to higher energy levels so you feel prepared to face the challenges of the day.

Certified compounding pharmacies play an essential role in preparing these personalized treatments, and MRC understands the importance of working closely with reputable, qualified professionals. While compounded medications are not FDA-approved, they are prescribed by MRC’s network of licensed healthcare providers based on individual requirements, such as when a commercially available version isn’t suitable, or specific doses or formulations are needed. Compounded alternatives provide patients an opportunity for custom solutions.

Will my local pharmacist fill my prescription weight loss medication?

No. Your prescription will be filled by one our compounding pharmacies.

Do you offer a high-blood pressure diet?

Yes. We can personalize a menu plan to meet your body's specific needs. Typically, a high-blood pressure diet is comprised of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. You will need to eliminate processed foods with added sugars and high sodium content. Plus, our weight loss programs include mild exercise and lifestyle changes that promote a good night's sleep.

How quickly can I get started on my medication?

While actual delivery time can vary, typically medications are filled and received about 1 week following your exam.

I don't have diabetes or prediabetes. Can I still be approved for a prescription?

Is health insurance required in order to participate in MRC prescription weight loss programs?

Health insurance is not required in order to participate in prescription medical weight loss programs through Metabolic Research Center. Referrals are not required either.

Do you offer a ketogenic diet?

Whether your body's unique needs require a strict or modified ketogenic diet, our consultants can personalize your plan and recommend the supplementation that can jump-start your weight loss journey.
