Compounded GLP-1s have not been evaluated by the FDA, but side effects are expected to be similar to other GLP-1-based medications reviewed by the FDA, which have the following side effects: nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal (stomach) pain, headache, fatigue, dyspepsia (indigestion), dizziness, abdominal distension, eructation (belching), hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), flatulence (gas buildup), gastroenteritis (an intestinal infection), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (a type of digestive disorder)
Consider your goals, too
For patients seeking a middle ground, PlexusDx offers the GLP-Squared Injection (a dual compound combining both semaglutide and tirzepatide elements) at $289/mo month-to-month, or from $249/mo on the 6-month plan, and the Microdose GLP-1 Protocol at $129 per month flat for those wanting to start conservatively
This shift did not happen overnight
