Tirzepatide: Prescription and Medical Follow-Up — Dava-Lakeshore, Tempe

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 with a weight-related condition. Metabolism slows with age, and for the large population of adults 45 and older across the Valley of the Sun, losing weight gets harder just as the stakes rise. Telehealth makes treatment accessible without a drive across Phoenix in summer heat: a licensed Arizona physician reviews your online assessment under Arizona Revised Statutes §36-3601, and compounded semaglutide from an FDA-registered 503B pharmacy ships to your Phoenix home. Monthly cost runs $199–$379 versus about $1,247 for brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy. Medical Director: Dr. Robert Martinez, MD, Board-Certified Endocrinology.
