When compounding makes sense
Compounding can help with a different strength, a different form such as a cream or troche, or an allergy to an ingredient in a standard product.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are prepared by licensed 503A compounding pharmacies, and the dispensing pharmacy is named on your prescription label.
We do not prescribe compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide. We prescribe FDA-approved branded GLP-1 medications only.

Per-visit care, not a subscription. Medication is billed by your pharmacy; check prices on YourMDRx Savings before you fill.
Compounded medication prices vary by formula and pharmacy and are confirmed before you fill.
How it works
- Start online and share your history, current medications and recent labs or readings.
- Meet a board-certified internal medicine physician by video, audio or chat.
- Your physician orders any needed labs (Quest or Labcorp) and sends prescriptions to your pharmacy.
- Follow-up visits review your results and readings and adjust treatment.
Is this right for me?
Often a good fit:
- Patients whose physician identifies a need that standard products do not meet
Not a fit for telehealth:
- Compounded GLP-1 medications, which we do not prescribe
