Frequently Asked Questions
What is compounded medication?
Compounding is the process of creating a medication that’s tailored to the needs of an individual patient. For example, some patients may need a medication in liquid form when the FDA-approved drug comes in a tablet. Additionally, a pharmacy can compound medications of FDA-approved drugs that are listed on the FDA’s shortage list.
Compounded drugs are prepared by state-licensed compounding pharmacies that meet federal and state requirements, including quality standards. When compounding in compliance with federal and state law, compounded drugs are not subject to FDA approval and are not evaluated for safety or efficacy.
How do you ensure the quality of the medications?
Compounded medications through Alan Health’s partner pharmacies undergo rigorous manufacturing processes and quality assurance measures. Each batch of products undergoes testing for sterility and potency. Our pharmacy partners also conduct quality audits on FDA registered API vendors to ensure the quality of the ingredients.
What are GLP-1 medications?
GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of medications that support appetite regulation and metabolic health. They work by mimicking a hormone your body naturally produces to help reduce hunger, slow digestion, and improve glucose control. Our program uses once-weekly injectable GLP-1 treatment, personalized to your needs.
How do GLP-1s help with weight loss?
Many people notice changes in appetite and cravings within the first few weeks. Meaningful weight loss tends to follow after consistent use and dose optimization, usually over the first 2–3 months. Results vary depending on the individual, adherence to the treatment plan, and lifestyle factors. If you have specific questions about your dosage or dosage amount, we encourage you to reach out directly via the Alan Health portal!
What’s included in the personalized GLP-1 treatment plan?
- Personalized medication and dosage adjustments with provider-designed titration schedule
- On-demand access to messaging and ongoing check-ins with licensed medical providers
- If prescribed, medication from 503B pharmacy partners is shipped right to your door
- Lifestyle and nutrition support included to complement your journey
When will I see results from GLP-1 treatment?
GLP-1 medication typically takes several weeks to become effective. Each batch is tested by our pharmacy partners to ensure quality and accurate dosing. Our physicians create a personalized titration schedule based on your specific needs. For any questions about your dosage, please reach out through the Alan Health portal!
Is insurance required?
No. Our program is self-pay and does not require insurance. This allows us to provide transparent pricing, direct access, and fewer barriers to care.
What happens if I reach my goal weight?
Once you’ve reached your goal or your provider determines you’re ready to transition, we’ll support you in maintaining your results. This may include reducing your dose, switching to a maintenance plan, or discontinuing medication while continuing healthy lifestyle habits.
How do I get started?
After completing a secure intake form, our medical team will review your goals and health history. If treatment is right for you, we’ll deliver it straight to your door—and check in regularly to ensure you’re getting the best results.
