Compounding is the process of creating a customized medication to meet the specific needs of a patient. Compounding allows a pharmacy to prepare personalized medications to fit the clinical needs of an individual patient.

Lemonaid Health works with state-licensed compounding pharmacies to offer compounded tirzepatide.

Compounded tirzepatide is administered by subcutaneous injection. You will receive instructions on how to administer 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/GIP agonists like tirzepatide, work by mimicking the GLP-1 and GIP hormones, 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 tirzepatide through a partner pharmacy. The compounded tirzepatide is made in a State Board of Pharmacy licensed sterile compounding pharmacy and provided by an FDA-inspected 503(b) outsourcing facility. Our compounded tirzepatide offering is the base form of tirzepatide.

The cost of your medication will depend on the membership term and the prescribed medication. Monthly membership terms are $49/month.

For compounded tirzepatide: • Monthly: $299 per month (billed separately)

For compounded tirzepatide microdoses: • Monthly: $199 per month (billed separately)

Zepbound® single-dose vials are offered via LillyDirect® and are available as a cash pay-only offering starting at $299/mo for the 2.5 mg dose. LillyDirect® has the ability to change the price. Unlike our other weight loss medication options we offer, Zepbound® single-dose vials are delivered, charged, and managed separately via LillyDirect®.

Standard GLP-1 prescriptions follow a "one-size-fits-all" schedule, increasing your dosage from a standard dosage until a maximum maintenance dosage. Lemonaid Health's microdosing uses smaller doses that are capped at 25% of the standard maintenance dose. This allows for a gradual, customized pace that aims to achieve weight loss goals while minimizing side effects.

Under a clinical-guidance weight loss plan, patients will use lower doses of GLP-1/GIP medication to lose weight while helping to minimize the likelihood of side effects.

Microdosing is a tolerability-first approach to reach your goals on smaller dosages. In combination with a healthcare provider the goal is to find an effective dosage instead of simply the maximum possible dosage.

Microdosing is often chosen to reduce the risk of bothersome side effects like nausea. You will have access to health care providers who will help you monitor your progress with this personalized dose titration focused on your individualized weight loss goals and tolerability-first approach.
