Benefits
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Here are some benefits of semaglutide: 1. Lowers blood sugar levels: Semaglutide helps to lower blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas and reducing the amount of glucose produced in the liver. 2. Promotes weight loss: Semaglutide can help promote weight loss by reducing appetite and slowing down the rate at which food leaves the stomach. This can lead to fewer calories being consumed, which can aid in weight reduction. 3. Reduces cardiovascular risk: Semaglutide has been found to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke in people with type 2 diabetes who have a high risk of cardiovascular disease. 4. Improves metabolic function: Semaglutide can improve metabolic function by increasing insulin sensitivity, which reduces insulin resistance and improves glucose uptake into cells. 5. May improve overall health: In addition to the specific benefits listed above, semaglutide may also improve overall health by reducing inflammation, decreasing liver fat, and improving markers of kidney function. Overall, semaglutide is an effective medication for managing type 2 diabetes and can also provide additional health benefits beyond glycemic control.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a type of medication that was developed to treat type 2 diabetes. This medication, much like it's sister drug semaglutide, works on the GLP-1 receptor, but tirzepatide also works on the GIP receptor. Some potential benefits of Tirzepatide are: 1. Improved blood sugar control: Tirzepatide is designed to lower blood sugar by targeting multiple pathways in the body. In clinical trials, patients who received Tirzepatide experienced significant reductions in their HbA1c levels compared to those who received a placebo. 2. Weight loss: Tirzepatide has been shown to promote weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes. This effect is thought to be due to its ability to suppress appetite and increase energy expenditure. 3. Cardiovascular benefits: Tirzepatide has demonstrated potential cardiovascular benefits, including reductions in blood pressure, improvements in cholesterol levels, and a lower risk of heart attack and stroke. It's important to note that Tirzepatide is still undergoing clinical trials, and its safety and efficacy are not yet fully established. Patients should always consult with their healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
What Quality Standards Apply to Compounded Drugs?
FDA website, 2022
https://www.fda.gov/drugs/human-drug-compounding/compounding-and-fda-questions-and-answers
Quality requirements for compounded drugs differ depending on the setting where compounding occurs.
Drugs compounded in outsourcing facilities are subject to current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) requirements.
By contrast, drugs compounded by a licensed pharmacist in a state-licensed pharmacy, or federal facility, or by a physician, in accordance with the conditions of section 503A of the FD&C Act, are exempt from compliance with CGMP requirements.
​
Both compound semaglutide and tirzepatide are being used to primarily help patients lose weight since most insurances are not covering, or partially covering, the medications under branded names from retail pharmacies. Obesity is a large contributor to other conditions such as elevated cholesterol readings, elevated liver enzymes, prediabetes, diabetes, self-esteem issues to just name a few. The goal at Price Aesthetics and Weight Loss to is to help you become the best version of you. In most cases, patients on these medications, along with lifestyle changes, see vast reductions in liver enzymes, hemoglobin A1c, reduced liver enzymes, and weight loss.

3. Cost-Effective: Telehealth appointments can be more cost-effective than traditional in-person visits, as it eliminates costs such as transportation, parking, and hospital fees.
4. Availability of Specialists: Telehealth makes it possible for patients to get expert advice from specialists who may not be available locally or in-person.
5. Increased Patient Engagement: Telehealth allows patients to take an active role in their healthcare, enabling them to communicate with their healthcare providers more frequently.
6. Better Outcomes: Studies have shown that telehealth services lead to better health outcomes and improved patient satisfaction, particularly for chronic disease management and mental health services.
7. Improved Safety: Telehealth appointments reduce the risk of exposure to infectious diseases, particularly during outbreaks or pandemics, making it a safer option for vulnerable populations.
