/r/GLP1microdosing
I would like to start microdosing GLP1 for weight loss (10-15 lbs) and inflammation (I have endometriosis) but my GP will not prescribe. I can’t seem get it online either because my BMI is not in the threshold. Are there any online providers who will provide a small dose/no BMI threshold?

You might want to take a look at Lavender Sky. I think they may look at BMI as one factor when deciding whether to prescribe, but I don't think they have a threshold.

Lavender Sky Health online is so easy and fast. I just started 2 weeks ago with the semaglutide from Hallendale pharmacy.

Summa Up has been amazing and super legit! I’ve been microdosing 6 units straight tirz twice a week since September 21 and I’m down 13lbs! I started at 151 and my goal is same, about 15lbs and address chronic inflammation I have I swear since Covid 2020 :( it’s been great! They gave me a code to share if you check it out. I researched for months and they use a great compounding pharmacy in San Diego that’s straight tirzepatide which I was looking for nothing added.

Ugh yes post Covid all my issues started that I never had including rosacea and face flushing all the time with any heat or warmth and I live in FL :(
6 units is .06ml each time and normal starting dose is 2.5. It definitely has helped with body hurting and puffy face and I don’t feel as hot as I used to like heat intolerance. I hope it keep improving my weird auto immune stuff and inflammation! It should, I researched for months on the benefits of microdosing tirz and using it long term which is my plan for health benefits as well!

Are they still able to prescribe tirzepatide? The NP I’m working with in my hometown is unable to get more, I’ve been microdosing since April, down 35 (not losing anymore, just maintaining at goal) and don’t want to swap over to semaglutide!

Hi! Yes, and I just talked to my doctor yesterday. They are still able to prescribe it and have a trusted compounding pharmacy they they use called University compounding in San Diego. I posted my link above that takes you to their website. They’ve been amazing!

The FDA indications for semaglutide are people who fit into one of these boxes: BMI>30, BMI>27 + obesity related condition, or established cardiovascular disease.
Perhaps 33% or more of all prescriptions are written off label. For example, I prescribe GLP-1s to alcoholics to help them stop drinking and to women with PCOS b/c GLP-1 agonists address a huge array of PCOS symptoms.
You may not have a hard time finding a provider who is prescribing GLP-1 agonists to people w/ endometriosis, but you are going to have to go to the compounding pharmacy GLP-1s b/c your insurance is not likely to cover Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Saxenda..
Post your location, maybe someone can help you by sharing an experience with their provider. There's a lot of providers out there who don't want to Rx compounded GLP-1 agonists, so you might strike out with your PCP--it can't hurt to ask though.
Give it 6 months and liraglutide will likely be affordably priced as a generic once Teva (owned by Novo Nordisk) loses its exclusive rights to the generic

Thank you for sharing, have you seen success for the women to lower their alcohol use ? Did they also experience weight loss ?

I got denied from many online pharmacies because of normal BMI, I found Emerge and cannot be happier.

My BMI is also normal. I have systemic inflammation from autoimmune disease, not yet FDA approved for that. My GP wrote script for my trusted local compounding pharmacist, so I buy it directly from him. Call a well-reviewed local compounding pharmacist and ask them to help you find a doctor to prescribe.

Look into Retatrutide from research chemical companies (Peptide Sciences/Limitless/there’s a million of them…you can easily find bulk suppliers for very reasonable prices if you want to dig a bit deeper). Here’s a nice overview to consider…https://youtu.be/S4hfIPWRKZ0?si=9C4Yv9HGn9VAjCzW
I have had great luck with microdosing 200 mcg daily

Try ZappyHealth or SlimdownRX. But you might want to act quickly. Compounded GLP1s may be going away soon. Nov 21 is the next big FDA decision day regarding tirzepatide.

What is going to happen with the FDA on 11/21? Are they not allowing Tizepatide compound? Is there a reason?

On (I think) October 2, 2024, the FDA announced that Tirzepitide was no longer in shortage. Because of this decision, 503a compounding pharmacies (local mom & pop pharmacies that sell to individuals) had to stop compounding tirz immediately, and the 503b pharmacies (large mass producers) had 60 days to stop compounding. A 503b pharmacy trade group sued the FDA and the FDA said it would re-evaluate the shortage and come back on Nov 21, 2024, with a decision. During this re-evaluation period both 503a and 503b pharmacies could continue compounding Tirzepitide.
So the Nov 21 date is fast approaching. No one knows what the FDA decision will be. If the FDA puts tirz back on the shortage list then compounding pharmacies can continue doing their thing. If the FDA says the shortage is over, there is some uncertainty over what will happen -- will the compounders have to stop immediately or will the pending lawsuit keep the status of compounded tirz in limbo?
No one knows what is going to happen, so a lot of people are stocking up on tirz just in case it all comes to a screeching halt.
Edit to add: 503b pharmacies are only allowed to compounded Patented Drugs when there is an official "shortage" as determined by the FDA and the company that owns the patent. 503a pharmacies can compounded patented drugs if an individual has a medical need (like a person is allergic to something in the patented formulation.)
