Compounding is the process of creating a customized medication to meet the specific needs of a patient. Compounded medications can also be made when FDA-approved drugs are in shortage.
Lemonaid Health works with state-licensed compounding pharmacies to offer compounded semaglutide.
Compounded semaglutide is administered via subcutaneous injection. Your healthcare provider will instruct you on how to properly inject the medication. It is important to follow the dosing schedule and instructions provided to achieve the best results and minimize side effects. Injection should only occur 1 time per week. Dosage schedules at different frequencies are against safety recommendations.
Weight loss injections, such as those containing GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide, work by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. These injections slow gastric emptying and increase feelings of fullness, potentially leading to weight loss.
Lemonaid Health offers access to compounded semaglutide, made in State Board of Pharmacy licensed sterile compounding pharmacies that are FDA-inspected 503(b) outsourcing facilities. Our compounded semaglutide offering is the base form of semaglutide - not the sodium or acetate (“salt”) versions.
While facilities making compounded medications are strictly regulated for certain quality practices, the compounded medications themselves are not approved or evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality.
Expect no hidden fees, no long-term commitment required, and no additional fees for dosage changes while on the same medication.

FAQs
You will first complete a detailed intake process which allows us to gather information about your health history, health concerns, medications, and more. After completing the intake process, a Lemonaid Health affiliated healthcare provider will review and conduct a consultation to determine if a weight loss treatment is appropriate for you. If suitable, your provider will discuss medication options and recommend a personalized treatment plan. Typically, treatment begins with a lower dose to minimize side effects, gradually increasing over time until achieving a maintenance dosage. If a Lemonaid Health affiliated healthcare provider determines that weight loss treatment is appropriate for you, the provider will establish the appropriate dosing schedule for you.
As you increase your dosage you will have check-ins with a Lemonaid Health affiliated provider to discuss the appropriateness of a dosage change. Once you reach a maintenance dosage, you will have regular interval check-ins to discuss your treatment and the appropriateness of new prescriptions.
Our weight loss offering is cash-pay only, so you'll need to pay out of pocket. Lemonaid Health cannot accept insurance for membership fees, medication costs, or medical fees.
Unfortunately, Lemonaid Health Weight Loss is not yet available in all 50 states; however, we're working to expand our offering as soon as possible.
Zepbound is the brand name for tirzepatide. It's an FDA-approved, once-weekly injectable medication that functions by mimicking two hormones—GLP-1 and GIP—to reduce appetite.
While all three medications are GLP-1 agonists, there are key differences: Active Ingredients: Zepbound contains tirzepatide, a dual agonist that targets both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. Ozempic and Wegovy contain semaglutide, which targets only the GLP-1 receptor. FDA Approval: Zepbound and Wegovy are approved specifically for weight loss. Ozempic is approved for type 2 diabetes but is often used off-label for weight loss.
If suitable, your provider will discuss medication options and recommend a personalized treatment plan — one of those options is Zepbound vials, which would be fulfilled through LillyDirect. The medication will be delivered, charged, and managed separately via LillyDirect.
Zepbound single-dose vials offered via LillyDirect, which are available as a cash pay-only offering start at $349/mo for the 2.5 mg dose. Medication will be delivered, charged, and managed separately via LillyDirect. These medication costs are separate from your Weight Loss Service Membership.
