About Compounded Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in certain FDA-approved medications used for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management in adults with specific clinical indications. The compounded tirzepatide dispensed through Oana is a compounded preparation that contains the same active ingredient. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality.
Tirzepatide is not FDA-approved for the treatment of PCOS. Some licensed physicians may consider compounded tirzepatide for women with PCOS metabolic symptoms when an FDA-approved option is not available or appropriate. Whether compounded tirzepatide is appropriate for your situation is a determination made solely by a licensed physician after reviewing your individual health intake.
Compounded tirzepatide dispensed through Oana is prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy and shipped directly to patients with a valid prescription. Oana is not affiliated with Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of FDA-approved tirzepatide products.
Get StartedMechanism of Action
Dual Receptor Activity
Tirzepatide is described in published medical literature as a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist. The mechanism information here references the active pharmaceutical ingredient as studied in clinical research on FDA-approved products. Compounded tirzepatide has not been independently evaluated by the FDA.
Insulin Sensitivity
GLP-1 receptor agonists are described in medical literature as supporting insulin sensitivity. Whether this is clinically meaningful for any individual depends on her specific health profile and is a determination for a licensed physician.
Appetite & Gastric Signaling
Published medical literature describes GLP-1 and GIP receptor activity as influencing appetite signaling and gastric emptying. Individual responses vary.
Individual Response
Individual responses to compounded tirzepatide vary. Your physician can discuss expected timelines and clinical expectations during your health intake review.
About Treatment Options
A licensed physician will discuss treatment options with you during your health intake review. Different medications work through different mechanisms, and the appropriate option for any individual depends on her specific symptoms, health history, and clinical situation. Compounded tirzepatide is not FDA-approved and is one of several options a physician may consider when an FDA-approved option is not available or appropriate.
