Medical Weight Loss Treatments Offered in La Porte
When clinically appropriate, your provider may discuss prescription weight loss medication options, including compounded medications when appropriate and available.
Weight Loss Injections
Compounded Semaglutide (GLP-1) — Starting at $66/month
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication that may help reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and slow stomach emptying, and support weight loss when combined with nutrition, lifestyle changes, and medical monitoring. Some compounded formulations may include vitamin B12. Your provider will review whether this option is appropriate based on your medical history, current medications, and treatment goals.
Compounded Tirzepatide (GLP-1/GIP) — Starting at $150/month
Tirzepatide works by activating GLP-1 and GIP receptors that help regulate appetite, blood sugar, and feelings of fullness. It may support weight loss when used as part of a medically supervised plan that includes nutrition guidance, lifestyle changes, and follow-up care. Some compounded formulations may include vitamin B12. Your provider will determine whether tirzepatide is appropriate for you.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality. They should only be prescribed by a licensed medical provider and obtained from an appropriate pharmacy.

Medical Weight Loss FAQs
Most patients do not need a referral to schedule a medical weight loss consultation, but referral requirements may vary by insurance plan. Check with your insurance provider if you are unsure.
Weight loss injections may be an option depending on your BMI, medical history, current medications, weight-related conditions, and treatment goals. Your provider will review your health and determine whether medication is appropriate.
Coverage varies by insurance plan. Some visits, labs, or related services may be covered, while medication costs may differ depending on your benefits and whether the medication is compounded or commercially available.
Follow-up timing depends on your treatment plan, medication use, progress, and any side effects. Many patients have regular check-ins so their provider can monitor results and adjust care when needed.
There is no single best weight loss injection for everyone. Options such as semaglutide and tirzepatide may be helpful for some patients, but the right choice depends on your medical history, medications, weight loss goals, side effect risk, and overall health.
