Compounded liraglutide and the Ivím weight loss program

Liraglutide is presently only available as prescription brand name products, Saxenda® and Victoza®*. Compounded liraglutide belongs to the same class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. It functions by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain and GI tract involved in digestion and appetite regulation. Individuals may be prescribed compounded liraglutide for various reasons, such as requiring a unique formulation, facing insurance denial for brand name coverage, seeking cost savings, or experiencing a local drug shortage.

Drug compounding is legal and a well-accepted practice in the United States. It is the process of combining, mixing, or changing ingredients to create a medication specific to the needs of an individual patient. Ivím only selects FDA-inspected, state-regulated compounding pharmacies that meet regulatory board standards for quality and safety to fulfill our compounded liraglutide prescriptions for our patients.

Your Ivím medical provider will evaluate your eligibility based on your medical questionnaire and discuss your compounded GLP-1 medication options. Compounded liraglutide may be prescribed based on your personal weight loss needs. Individuals may be prescribed compounded liraglutide for various reasons, such as requiring a unique formulation, facing insurance denial for brand name coverage, seeking cost savings, or experiencing a local drug shortage.

Compounded liraglutide medication is not covered by insurance, but Ivím provides affordable pricing options to ensure your weight loss goals stay within reach. Often, compounded liraglutide medication will be substantially less than the retail price of the name brand FDA-approved brand name drugs Saxenda® and Victoza®*.
