Compounded Injections for Weight Control

Compounded medications, while not subject to the same rigorous FDA testing as mass-produced pharmaceuticals, play an essential role in addressing the unique needs of patients. This is particularly evident during shortages of commercial drugs or when standardized formulations fail to meet individual health requirements and must be customized for each patient. Discussed below are some of the compounded medications that may be prescribed to help you reach your long-term goals:

  • Compounded Semaglutide – A tailored approach ensures compounded semaglutide aligns not only with their clinician’s prescription but also with the patient’s personal healthcare goals.
  • Compounded Tirzepatide – Dual hormone mechanisms of compounded tirzepatide not only provide benefits surpassing standalone GLP-1 medications but also address unique patient requirements.
  • Compounded Liraglutide – Compounded liraglutide is prepared in a 503A compounding pharmacy and formulated based on the precise prescription from a licensed healthcare provider to a patient’s unique needs.
  • Compounded Methylene Blue – Unlike commercially manufactured drugs, methylene blue is specially prepared by a compounding pharmacy to deliver precise formulations and dosages to reduce oxidative stress.
  • Compounded NAD+ – Compounded NAD+ serves as an essential coenzyme and a signaling molecule that helps keep our mitochondria functioning properly to maintain cellular homeostasis and DNA repair.
  • Compounded Lipo-B (MIC+B12) – Compounded lipotropic injections work synergistically to enhance the body’s natural metabolic processes, improving fat oxidation and promoting efficient energy utilization.
  • Compounded GAC (glutamine, arginine, carnitine) – Expertly crafted by certified compounding pharmacies, compounded GAC injections are a pioneering solution for those looking to optimize overall wellness.
  • Compounded Glutathione – By supporting detoxification processes, compounded glutathione plays a pivotal role in maintaining overall cellular health and promoting weight-related wellness.
  • Compounded Sermorelin – Compounded sermorelin plays a crucial role in enhancing the body’s natural rejuvenation processes to restore overall vitality and reduce stubborn abdominal fat deposits.

By focusing on science-driven, personalized care, MRC has spent decades helping clients achieve lasting weight management and improved wellness. For individuals whose needs cannot be met by standard medications, MRC’s licensed healthcare providers often prescribe compounded medications, including advanced GLP-1 analogues. These customized treatments offer versatile and innovative solutions, meeting the unique challenges of each individual’s needs that commercially available drugs may fail to address.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help me lose the "inner tube" around my waist?

Losing stubborn belly fat can be a challenge. At MRC, we can personalize a low-carb high-fat menu plan to turn your body into a fat-burning machine. A ketogenic approach relies on achieving a state of metabolic ketosis where your body is forced to use its fat reserves for fuel.

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.

Will my prescription weight loss program make me feel tired and sluggish?

Fatigue can be a side effect of GLP-1 medications. While not common, you may experience some sluggishness while taking your prescription weight loss medication. If you do experience tiredness, your MRC Team will have tools, resources, and tips to help you overcome any side effects.

How long will I have to wait to start my medication?

Typically your appointment will be within one week of ordering. The pharmacy will fill your prescription quickly and you'll have your medication about 1 week after your exam.

I am desperate for a change. Can MRC help me get back on track?

When it comes to diet and exercise, it is easy to get stuck in a rut. While having a structured eating plan and exercise regimen is incredibly important to your success, if it is too rigid, you may get bored or grow tired of doing the same thing day in and day out. Our weight loss consultants can provide the tools and support to keep you on track until your goal weight is achieved.

Do I have to go to a hospital for DNA Testing?

No. DNA testing can be performed at our North Little Rock center. In fact, a quick swab of your cheek and that's it. It will take a few days to get your results back and the DNA analysis can be used to outline a weight loss program that is customized based on your DNA.

Do you accept insurance for prescription weight loss?

At this time we are unable to process insurance through our offices. We do accept Flex Spending and HSA on applicable purchases of weight loss medications and products. Some carriers may also reimburse you for all or part of your medical program costs; this is a conversation best had with your carrier to see what they will cover. Our prescription medications are affordably priced so that the vast majority of individuals are able to afford their medication without the supplementation of insurance.

I diet but have only succeeded in gaining more weight. Can MRC create a diet for me?

Yes, we can. Following the wrong diet plan can be frustrating and often results in packing on additional pounds. We've invested more than 35 years of research and experience into our personalized menus and customized weight loss programs. Our staff will educate you on what your body needs and provide encouragement for you to succeed.
