Two medications, one standard of care.

Compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide, prescribed only if a licensed clinician decides one is right for you.

Led by Dr. Devan Partridge, DO, a board-certified Utah physician

Semaglutide

A GLP-1 medication. It acts on the same receptor as GLP-1, a hormone your gut releases after you eat that helps regulate appetite, fullness and blood sugar.

Pathway
One hormone pathway: GLP-1
How it's taken
A small injection under the skin once a week, starting at a low dose.
Dose
Set by your clinician, and changed only after a check-in.
Form
Compounded monthly by a licensed compounding pharmacy in Utah, one month's supply at a time. Not FDA-approved.

Tirzepatide

A GIP and GLP-1 medication. It acts on the receptors for two hormones your gut releases after you eat, which help regulate appetite, fullness and blood sugar.

Pathway
Two hormone pathways: GIP and GLP-1
How it's taken
A small injection under the skin once a week, starting at a low dose.
Dose
Set by your clinician, and changed only after a check-in.

Whichever you take, a plan comes with it.

What the two share.

The same care around either medication, and the same things to watch for.

Taken
Once a week, at the dose your clinician prescribes. Doses start low and change only after a check-in.
Decided by
A licensed clinician, who decides which, if either, is right for you, and at what dose.
Switching
If the fit isn't right, your clinician can switch you to the other medication, and your plan continues.
Compounded
Prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy in Utah and shipped to your door. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality.
