Telehealth providers like Zera Health offer access to compounded medications prescribed by licensed providers. Here is what you should know before starting treatment.
What Are Compounded Medications?
Compounded medications are preparations made by licensed compounding pharmacies based on individual prescriptions. They are not FDA-approved and the FDA does not verify their safety, effectiveness, or quality.
How Are They Prescribed?
A licensed provider reviews your health history and, if appropriate, writes a prescription for a compounded medication. The prescription is fulfilled by a licensed, FDA-registered compounding pharmacy.
What Compounded Medications Does Zera Health Offer?
Zera Health's licensed providers may prescribe compounded formulations including semaglutide, tirzepatide, testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, sermorelin, NAD+, and MIC+B12 — all subject to clinical evaluation and provider approval.
Convenience of Telehealth
Telehealth allows patients to complete their consultation online and have prescriptions shipped directly to their door. No in-person visits required for most treatments.
Important: These Are Not FDA-Approved Products
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not undergone clinical trials. Data from clinical trials of FDA-approved brand-name drugs does not apply to compounded versions. Your provider will discuss the risks and benefits with you before prescribing.
Questions to Ask Your Provider
Before starting any compounded medication, ask your provider: What are the risks? How will my progress be monitored? Are there FDA-approved alternatives? What should I do if I experience side effects?
Speak with a licensed provider and find out if this treatment is right for you.
