Compounded Injections for Weight Control

Unlike FDA-approved drugs that are mass produced, compounded injections are not subject to the same rigorous safety and efficacy testing. However, these medications are often necessary for patients who require specific adjustments to factors like dosage, formulation, or added ingredients for an individual’s unique metabolic needs. Additionally, when certain medications are in short supply, the FDA permits compounding. Discussed below are some of the compounded medications that may be prescribed to help you reach your long-term goals:

  • Compounded Weight Medications – Compounded weight medications is a custom-made version of the popular receptor agonist but is formulated by a compounding pharmacy for a patient’s specific needs rather than commercially produced.
  • Compounded Peptide-Assisted Shots – Compounding allows for tailored formulations of peptide-assisted drugs with dual-action mechanisms, whether by modifying dosage strengths or adding nutrients like B12 and glycine for the person’s needs.
  • Compounded Weight Loss Injections – Like popular meds, compounded weight loss injections work by mimicking natural hormones to slow gastric emptying and enhance feelings of fullness to help reduce overall food intake.
  • Compounded NAD+ – While NAD+ isn't commercially available in a standard form, it can be compounded by a certified pharmacy to address specific patient needs like anti-aging, metabolism and addiction recovery.
  • Compounded Lipo-B (MIC+B12) – Compounded Lipo-B injections, also known as lipotropic injections, are formulated with a mix of vitamins, amino acids, and key compounds that support enhancing metabolic health.
  • Compounded GAC (glutamine, arginine, carnitine) – Regular use of GAC formulas is linked to improved energy, better circadian rhythm and faster recovery after exercise with reduced risk of chronic conditions.
  • Compounded Glutathione – Glutathione is a naturally occurring compound in the body that serves as a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals.
  • Compounded Sermorelin – By mimicking the natural release of human growth hormones, sermorelin enhances the body’s cell repair and regeneration processes to support overall health and vitality.

Compounded weight-loss medications open the door for new opportunities, as more patients have access to effective, tailored solutions for achieving long-term metabolic health improvements. However, it is vital to consult a doctor or clinician before using any compounded injections to ensure it is safe and suitable for meeting your body’s unique needs. In addition, MRC’s compounded injectables may provide a cost-effective alternative that is also more affordable than brand-name versions.

Frequently Asked Questions

My doctor recommended I start this medication. Do I still need to have a medical screening?

Yes. Our healthcare provider will be the one to write your prescription; so, they will also need to screen you for eligiblity and participation before your weight loss medication can be written and filled by our licensed compounding pharmacy partners.

Do I need my doctor's approval to get started?

No, not to get started. You can discuss specific health conditions and medications in your one-on-one consultation with our weight loss specialist. If there are any concerns, we may recommend that you check with your doctor to be safe. We are, however, very experienced at personalizing menu plans for numerous health issues and dietary restrictions.

I gained weight after a hysterectomy. Does MRC have a program that's right for me?

Weight gain following a hysterectomy is common. Because our programs are customized for every "Body", we may recommend hormone testing or a DNA panel to help identify any hormonal disparities that may be contributing to your weight gain. Your menu plans and supplementation are personalized to support your unique needs.

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.

How will I administer my weight loss medication?

Compounded weight injections are administered subcutaneosly either into your stomach or thigh. You will give yourself the injection at home using a small insulin needle. You will be provided with clear instructions and guidance on how to administer your weight loss medication. Your MRC Team is also available to answer any questions you may have before getting started or during your treatment.

Should I be following a low-carb high-fat diet?

Our clients follow a low-carbohydrate diet that eliminates sugary drinks, processed foods, pre-packaged meals, and other foods that contain empty calories. Contrary to popular belief, eating fats doesn't turn into fat. In fact, many people fail to consume enough healthy fats in their diet. Because MRC personalizes a menu plan and weight loss program just for you, you will have the right combination for a healthy low-carb high fat diet.

When I lose the weight, am I on my own?

Most of our weight loss programs include maintenance. During this period, you will solidify what you've learned. We think teaching you how to keep weight off is just as important as helping you reach your desired weight. Instead of selling you pre-packaged meals, we teach you how to shop, cook, and eat real foods at home as well as when dining out.

Will your office show me how to administer my medication?

Yes, when you are provided with your weight loss medication you will also be provided with clear instructions on how to administer your prescription. Your MRC Team is available to answer any questions you may have.
