Oral Compounded GLP-1s: A Needle-Free Option for Lasting Weight Loss

GLP-1 medications are changing the landscape of weight care—and now, they’re more accessible than ever with oral compounded options. If you’re looking for powerful results without the needle, oral GLP-1s might be exactly what your health journey needs.

At Alan Health, we offer compounded, sublingual GLP-1s crafted with precision and supported by our medical team—so you can lose weight safely, consistently, and confidently.

What Are Oral Compounded GLP-1s?

GLP-1 receptor agonists are medications that mimic a hormone your body naturally produces after meals. These medications work by:

• Reducing appetite and helping you feel full sooner
• Slowing digestion, so you stay satisfied longer
• Supporting blood sugar control, which can stabilize energy and reduce cravings
  

You may be familiar with injectable GLP-1s like Wegovy®, Ozempic®, or Saxenda®. Oral compounded GLP-1s offer the same active ingredient—delivered as liquid drops under the tongue.

At Alan Health, our pharmacy partners prepare oral GLP-1s using FDA-registered ingredients and test each batch for potency, sterility, and absorption quality.

Who Might Be a Good Candidate?

• Adults Managing Obesity or Overweight-Related Conditions: You may qualify if you have a BMI ≥30, or a  BMI ≥27 plus a weight-related health issue (e.g., high blood pressure, prediabetes, or PCOS)
• People Seeking a Non-Injectable Option: If you’re hesitant about needles or have difficulty with injectable medications, oral GLP-1 drops offer a sublingual (under-the-tongue) alternative that avoids the GI tract.
• Patients Who Haven’t Responded to Diet and Exercise Alone: When healthy habits aren’t enough, GLP-1 medications can help regulate appetite and support consistent, medically guided weight loss.
• Those Ready for Structured, Ongoing Support: Alan Health combines daily dosing with telehealth monitoring, giving you access to ongoing care, dose adjustments, and expert guidance.

How to Take Oral GLP-1s

Taking oral GLP-1s correctly is key to its effectiveness:

• Take on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning.
  Place the drops under your tongue and hold for at least 90 seconds before swallowing.
• Avoid eating or drinking (besides water) for at least 30 minutes afterward.
• Stick to a once-daily schedule, around the same time each day.

Following this protocol allows the medication to absorb through the sublingual membrane—bypassing the stomach and helping your body access the medication efficiently.

Clinical Results and What to Expect

Compounded oral GLP-1s follow the same titration schedule as name-brand GLP-1 injectables. Most patients begin seeing weight changes within 8–12 weeks, with more pronounced results around 3 to 6 months—especially when combined with healthy habits.

While sublingual absorption may be slightly lower than injectable forms, patient outcomes are promising. Your Alan Health provider will monitor your response and adjust your dose as needed for optimal results.

Oral compounded GLP-1s offer a practical, clinically supported solution for adults ready to manage their weight with expert help—without injections. When taken consistently and paired with provider support, it can be a game-changer in your health journey.
