Weight Loss Medication

Important Update

The FDA has removed semaglutide and tirzepatide from its drug shortage list. This regulatory change has important implications for how these medications are accessed and prescribed. With the shortages officially resolved, compounded versions of semaglutide and tirzepatide are no longer broadly permitted. These alternatives can now only be prescribed when a patient has a specific medical need that prevents the use of FDA-approved, branded medications. Tirzepatide is FDA-approved in its branded forms: Mounjaro® and Zepbound®, manufactured by Eli Lilly & Company. Semaglutide is FDA-approved as Ozempic® and Wegovy®, manufactured by Novo Nordisk. It’s important to note that compounded versions are not affiliated with these companies or their products.

At Renew MedSpa, we are currently updating our weight loss medication program to align with these industry-wide changes and ensure continued access to safe, compliant, and effective treatment options for our patients. We will share more details soon. Thank you for your continued trust in Renew MedSpa.

GLP-1 medications

GLP-1 medications are medications that are injected weekly or taken sublingually under the tongue daily. These medications work for weight loss by curbing hunger, helping control eating habits, and reducing cravings. They offer multiple health benefits, including weight loss, healthy weight maintenance, lower blood sugar levels, and reduction in A1C levels. GLP-1 medications mimic a hormone produced in your body when you consume food. By acting as an incretin hormone, it aids in digestion, suppresses appetite, and slows down the rate at which food leaves the stomach. This results in a feeling of fullness that lasts longer. Weight loss from the medication is most effective when combined with lifestyle interventions such as eating healthy and exercising.
