Question 1

Do I qualify for a GLP-1 program?

Accepted Answer

Most adults qualify based on BMI and health history, not the number on the scale alone. You answer a few questions online, and a licensed physician reviews your intake before anything is prescribed.

Question 2

What is a microdose GLP-1?

Accepted Answer

It is a weekly semaglutide or tirzepatide injection compounded at a low dose rather than the standard starting strength. There is no clinical definition of a microdose and it has not been studied in its own trials. Your provider sets the dose, reviews it with you, and decides whether it changes.

Question 3

How fast will I see results?

Accepted Answer

The first weeks are mostly your body adjusting while your physician steps up the dose, so think of them as the runway, not the result. Meaningful change tends to show up over months, not days. In clinical trials these medications produced significant average weight loss with consistent use, though individual results vary.

Question 4

What are the side effects, and how are they managed?

Accepted Answer

Most side effects are digestive, usually mild to moderate, and tend to ease as your body adjusts, with nausea the most common. Simple habits help, like smaller meals, eating slowly, and staying hydrated. Your care team is reachable when symptoms come up, and your physician can adjust your plan, so you are not managing it on your own.

Question 5

Will I lose muscle, not just fat?

Accepted Answer

Any significant weight loss can include some muscle, which is why protein, regular movement and strength work, and a gradual physician-managed dose matter. Your care team can talk through habits that help you preserve muscle while you lose fat. Individual results vary.

Question 6

Is it safe, and who should not take a GLP-1?

Accepted Answer

GLP-1 medications have been studied in large clinical trials, and a licensed physician reviews your full history, including your other medications and conditions, before prescribing. The compounded versions we offer are prepared by a licensed US pharmacy to your prescription and are not FDA-approved. They are not right for everyone, including some people with certain thyroid cancers, a history of pancreatitis, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and your physician makes that call with you. That medical review is exactly why it comes first.

Question 7

What is a compounded medication, and how is it different from the brand?

Accepted Answer

A compounded GLP-1 is a patient-specific preparation made by a licensed US pharmacy to your individual prescription. It is its own distinct medication, not a generic and not the same as any brand-name, FDA-approved medication, and compounded medications are not FDA-approved. Your physician decides whether a branded or compounded option is right for you, and you always know which one you are receiving before it ships.

Question 8

What does it cost, and what is included?

Accepted Answer

You see every plan length, its monthly price, and its total before you start, with no hidden fees and no surprise charges. Nothing is charged at checkout: your plan total is charged once, only if a physician approves your treatment, and it includes physician follow-up, ongoing support, and expedited shipping. Sipra is cash-pay, so you do not need insurance, and many members use HSA or FSA funds.

Question 9

Do I have to stay on it long-term, and will I keep the weight off?

Accepted Answer

There is no fixed time you must stay on a GLP-1. Some people taper or pause once they reach their goal, and others continue on a maintenance dose, your physician helps you decide based on how your body responds. Weight can return if earlier habits return, so your plan pairs the medication with changes meant to last, and your care team stays with you through that. Individual results vary.

Question 10

How does Sipra support me after I start?

Accepted Answer

This is where Sipra is different. A licensed physician prescribes and follows up, and your care team answers questions and adjusts your plan as your body responds, included, not an add-on. Plenty of programs hand you a prescription and little after. Sipra stays with you, from your first dose through every refill.

Question 11

Can I still qualify with an existing health condition?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your history, which is why a licensed physician reviews your intake before anything is prescribed, rather than a checklist deciding on its own. GLP-1 medications are not right for everyone, including some people with certain thyroid cancers, a history of pancreatitis, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and your physician makes that call with you.

Question 12

How do you make sure my medication is prepared safely?

Accepted Answer

A state-licensed US pharmacy prepares your medication to your prescription, and it is tested before it ships under USP 795 and 797, including sterility and endotoxin testing for injections. The pharmacies we work with are accredited by URAC, ACHC and LegitScript, and nothing is sent until your physician approves the prescription.

Question 13

Will my price go up as my dose goes up?

Accepted Answer

No. Your price is set by your plan length, not your dose, so it stays the same as your physician steps your dose up. If a renewal price ever changes at the end of a plan, we tell you at least 30 days ahead, and you can cancel before paying the new rate.

Question 14

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cancel online in your account, with no call and no form. To stop your next order from being prepared, cancel at least 13 days before your current paid period ends. An order already sent to the pharmacy cannot be stopped. Leaving a 6 or 12 month plan early is settled as our Terms describe, and medication not yet sent to the pharmacy is refunded.
