Have you had too many side effects using commercially available doses of Ozempic or Zepbound? One limitation of the name brand medications available at your regular pharmacy is the strict dosing required by the injector pens. And one of the biggest upsides of taking compounded or manufactured GLP-1 medications from a vial is that we can customize your dose. In fact, at MAAM we customize every patient's dose to their specific needs and to match how their body responds to the medication.
For example, some people don't tolerate the semaglutide starter dose of 0.25 mg, and so we will advised the patient to take a lower starter dose to give their body time to adjust. We also can titrate the dose up more gradually, which is very helpful if you have a sensitive system. The same is true for tirzepatide, for many patients increasing the dose by 2.5 mg every 4 weeks is just too much and a more personalized approach is needed.
Whether you are looking for custom dosing of your hormones, your weight loss medication, or personalized advice in reviewing your whole body MRI- we tailor your regimen to you for optimal results. We've been doing this for years and are experts in customizing to fit your needs.
