Where does my medication come from?
Ignite Health LLC works exclusively with a fully accredited (PCAB) and NCPA sterile pharmacy which utilizes no sodium salt for compounds. Drug compounding is a process of combining, mixing and altering medication ingredients to tailor to the needs of an individual patient. Compounding drugs are not FDA approved. I have reviewed the current API sourcing and outsourcing vendor validation with the pharmacies I work with. They have confirmed 3rd party testing on API and batching and have supplied me with a copy of their certificate of analysis.
How is my medication dosed?
With semaglutide and tirzepatide you will begin the first 4 weeks of treatment at a starting dose. Your medication dose will be gradually increased every month, as necessary and tolerated for weight loss or until a maintenance dose is achieved. You may also continue the same lower dose if it is working well for you. Many patients lose weight at lower doses.
