Compounded GLP-1 is a customized medication designed to meet the specific needs of patients, as determined by their healthcare provider. Unlike FDA-approved versions that come in standard forms, compounding allows for:
- Customized Forms: Creating liquid versions for those who cannot take pills.
- Adjusted Dosages: Tailoring dosages based on individual requirements.
- Combination Therapies: Allowing healthcare providers to include GLP-1 with other compatible ingredients when medically appropriate.
Compounded medications are prepared by licensed compounding facilities that adhere to both FDA and state regulations, including stringent quality standards. When compounded in accordance with federal laws, these medications are not subject to FDA approval and do not undergo the same safety, efficacy, or manufacturing reviews as commercially available drugs.
At Eve, healthcare providers have the option to prescribe compounded GLP-1 to better serve the unique needs of each patient.
