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.

MRC compounded prescription GLP-1 medications trigger a hormonal response that reduces hunger and offers a groundbreaking way to jumpstart your weight loss journey. GLP-1 injectables might not be right for everyone, and that's OK. Our decades of experience ensure we have alternative solutions to help meet your long-term weight goals for healthy living with or without the help of weight loss drugs.
GLP-1 injections for a sustainable journey.
The GLP-1 hormone plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels and controlling constant feelings of hunger. For many people, losing weight is just the first hurdle as maintaining the new weight often proves to be more difficult. At MRC’s medical weight loss clinic Lafayette, our team of weight loss coaches brings decades of experience to the table.
Compounded GLP-1 weight loss medications offer new hope for overweight or obese adults who have struggled to find permanent success. These medications mimic the natural action of GLP-1 hormone in the body, ensuring prolonged feelings of fullness for improved weight management, even for those who struggled with other diet plans.

A Personalized Approach to Weight Management
The typical advice of reducing calorie intake and increasing exercise often falls flat for those needing lose substantial weight. Easier said than done, right? This is due to the body’s natural response that triggers appetite hormone that leads to overeating and weight regain. GLP-1 medications are revolutionizing the way our bodies feel hunger. Whether you qualify for GLP-1 medications or prefer a traditional approach, our programs are rooted in science and tailored to your needs.
If you’re ready to embark on a transformative weight loss journey, contact us to learn more about our proven approaches. Together, we can make lasting changes and help you achieve your goals for healthy living, including:
EATING REAL FOOD – Instead of focusing on dietary restrictions, you and your coach will concentrate on adding nutritious options to your menu plan. Eating a diet rich in whole foods makes it easier for most people to lose weight and maintain it over time. MRC menu plans are based on real foods that naturally limit your body's absorption of fats and sugars, helping you lose weight and reduce your cravings for less healthy food options. Less sugar and higher fiber intake helps prevent post-meal crashes.
1-ON-1 COACHING – With one-on-one coaching sessions, you will develop a heightened self-awareness of how dietary changes and physical activity impact your goals. MRC coaches at the medical weight loss clinic Lafayette, many of whom have been in your shoes, will work one-on-one with you to create a personalized action plan, monitor your progress, address any concerns, and help you stay accountable to your goals. Our clinics provide a sense of community to further support your weight loss journey.
HORMONE BALANCING – If you have been struggling to lose weight and keep it off, you might be experiencing hormone imbalances. The MRC Hormone Test Kit provides a quick and easy way to identify these imbalances, offering you a clear path to more effective weight management. Symptoms of hormonal imbalances can include unexplained weight gain, fatigue, depression, or anxiety. At MRC, balancing your hormones is not just about losing weight; it's about improving your health and well-being.
MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS PLANS – Since losing five to ten percent of your total body weight and maintaining it can lead to significant health benefits, the latest weight loss medications should be considered for those who qualify. Prescription weight loss drugs combined with a balanced diet and one-on-one coaching can yield results that go beyond just the number on a scale. Weight loss injections may be especially beneficial for those who have struggled to find a lasting weight loss solution.
For decades, Metabolic Research Center has relied on the science of weight loss to create personalized plans that work for people just like you. Many of our staff members have experienced the ups and downs of failed diets, so we truly understand the challenges of shedding stubborn pounds. At the medical weight loss clinic Lafayette, MRC clinicians and specialists work together to create comprehensive plans tailored to each individual's needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help me lose the "inner tube" around my waist?
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?
Do I have to go to a hospital for DNA Testing?
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?
