Since compounded drugs are made on a case-by-case basis to meet the needs of individual patients – and they involve non-standard ingredients, dosages, and forms – they are not FDA-approved. Unlike FDA-approved medications, compounded drugs do not undergo the same strict testing for safety, efficacy, and quality before they become available to patients.

It’s important to understand, however, that lack of FDA approval does not mean a compounded drug is not safe or that it won’t work. Here are a few facts that may reassure you:

• Compounding pharmacies such as those used by Jumpstart Rx must use pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, made at an FDA-registered facility, when creating a compounded medication.
• While these medications are not subject to federal laws that regulate mass-produced drugs, compounding pharmacies in the U.S. are overseen by their state Board of Pharmacy. This requires them to meet certain safety standards.
• In 2013, a law called the Compounding Quality Act was passed after a 2012 fungal meningitis outbreak was traced back to a Massachusetts compounding pharmacy. This law created much tougher protocols for pharmacies that make compounded medications.
• On September 5, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration established a “green list” import alert to help stop potentially dangerous GLP-1 active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from unverified foreign sources from entering the U.S. market. This establishment is part of the agency’s decisive steps to safeguard consumers from illegal GLP-1 active ingredients imported from overseas to ensure patient safety and a secure drug supply chain. The active ingredients in the Semaglutide and Tirzepatide offered by Jumpstart Rx are sourced from “green list” manufacturers.

Semaglutide and tirzepatide offer significant health benefits, including weight loss, improved blood sugar control, and cardiovascular health improvements. They achieve these benefits by mimicking gut hormones to reduce appetite and increase fullness, while also helping to lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Tirzepatide may offer greater weight loss results due to its dual-action mechanism.

Yes. If deemed clinically appropriate, our board certified health care providers will review your request and can write a prescription for Semaglutide or Tirzepatide to be delivered to you – often within the same day!

Note that all prescriptions are at the discretion of your healthcare provider.

As with other GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) receptor agonists, adverse GI effects are common, with the major adverse effects including nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. In weight loss trials, these adverse effects were generally mild to moderate and, for most patients, improved over time.
