How does it work?

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide belong to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. They mimic the GLP-1 hormone that is released in the gut as a response to eating.

​

GLP-1 send signals to the brain to regulate appetite and food intake. When used in conjunction with diet and exercise, it may help patients lose weight. GLP-1 Medications work to:

  • Suppress appetite

  • Manage blood sugar

  • Control blood sugar spikes

  • Reduce cravings.

How is it administered?

Sublingual Troches

At Medicenter Pharmacy, our pharmacist compounds semaglutide and tirzepatide as troches, which are medicated lozenges that are administered sublingually (under the tongue) or placed in the mouth between the gum and cheek. Our team takes an available FDA-approved form of semaglutide and changes the dosage form or strength to be customized to the final product for the patient.

​

Why troches?

  • They are needle free

  • Once-daily dosing

  • Custom compounded for you

  • Flavored options available
