Tirzepatide Eligibility Criteria — Alameda-Campus, 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.

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.
