Tirzepatide, prescribed by telehealth

Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injectable that acts on two hormone receptors involved in appetite and blood sugar. Compounded tirzepatide is available at RxPepLab by prescription after a licensed provider's review.

What is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide activates two receptors: GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). These are the receptors for hormones the gut releases after eating, which play roles in insulin release, digestion and appetite.

FDA-approved brand-name products containing tirzepatide exist. Compounded tirzepatide is a different product: it is prepared for an individual patient by a licensed compounding pharmacy, is not FDA-approved, and is not the same as any brand-name medication.
