Question 1

How does the Peptide Science USA program work?

Accepted Answer

It's a fully online, physician-supervised weight loss program. You complete a short intake form, a licensed US physician reviews your submission within 24 hours, and — if approved — your compounded GLP-1 medication is shipped directly to your door from an FDA-registered 503B pharmacy.

Question 2

Do I need to visit a doctor's office?

Accepted Answer

No. The entire process is handled online. Your intake form collects the medical information a physician needs to evaluate your eligibility. There are no in-person visits required.

Question 3

How long does the intake form take?

Accepted Answer

Most patients complete the intake form in under 5 minutes. You'll provide basic health information, your medication preference, and your desired dose.

Question 4

How quickly will a physician review my intake?

Accepted Answer

A licensed US physician reviews every submission within 24 hours. You'll be notified once your order has been reviewed and, if approved, when it has been sent to the pharmacy.

Question 5

What happens if I'm not approved?

Accepted Answer

If a physician determines that a GLP-1 medication is not appropriate for you at this time, you will be notified and not charged for the medication.

Question 6

Is my personal and medical information kept private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All information you submit is protected under HIPAA. We use industry-standard encryption and never sell or share your personal health data with third parties.

Question 7

Which states do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We currently serve patients in all 50 US states. Simply select your state during the intake form and a physician licensed in your state will review your submission.

Question 8

Do I need a prescription?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a prescription is required for all GLP-1 medications. That's why every order goes through a physician review. If approved, the physician issues a prescription directly to our 503B compounding pharmacy.

Question 9

What is Semaglutide?

Accepted Answer

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist — the active ingredient in Ozempic® and Wegovy®. It works by mimicking a hormone that regulates appetite, helping you feel fuller for longer and reducing overall caloric intake. It is available in 1mg, 2mg, 4mg, 6mg, 8mg, and 10mg vials.

Question 10

What is Tirzepatide?

Accepted Answer

Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist — the active ingredient in Mounjaro® and Zepbound®. By targeting two receptors instead of one, it may produce stronger appetite suppression and weight loss results than Semaglutide alone. It is available in 10mg, 20mg, 30mg, 40mg, 50mg, and 60mg vials.

Question 11

Which medication is right for me — Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?

Accepted Answer

Both are clinically proven GLP-1 medications. Semaglutide is the more established option and starts at a lower price point. Tirzepatide's dual-action mechanism may offer enhanced results for some patients. Your physician will help guide the right choice based on your health profile.

Question 12

Are these FDA-approved medications?

Accepted Answer

The brand-name versions (Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, Zepbound®) are FDA-approved. Our medications are compounded versions of the same active ingredients, prepared at an FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facility — the highest regulatory standard for compounded drugs.

Question 13

What is a 503B compounding pharmacy?

Accepted Answer

A 503B outsourcing facility is a federally-registered compounding pharmacy that operates under FDA oversight and must meet Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) standards. This is a significantly higher standard than a traditional compounding pharmacy.

Question 14

What are the common side effects?

Accepted Answer

The most commonly reported side effects of GLP-1 medications include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and reduced appetite — particularly during the first few weeks. These typically subside as your body adjusts. Always consult your physician if you experience severe or persistent symptoms.

Question 15

How do I administer the medication?

Accepted Answer

Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are administered as subcutaneous (under the skin) injections, typically once per week. Detailed administration instructions are included with every order.

Question 16

How should I store my medication?

Accepted Answer

Vials should be stored in the refrigerator (36°F–46°F / 2°C–8°C) and kept away from light. Do not freeze. Your shipment is packed in temperature-controlled packaging to maintain integrity during transit.

Question 17

How much does the program cost?

Accepted Answer

Semaglutide vials start at $37 and Tirzepatide vials start at $139. There are no consultation fees, membership fees, or hidden charges. Shipping is a flat $35 per order.

Question 18

Is there a subscription or auto-ship?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no subscription, auto-ship, or recurring billing. You order only when you need to, with no commitment and no cancellation fees.

Question 19

Does insurance cover these medications?

Accepted Answer

Compounded GLP-1 medications are typically not covered by insurance. Our pricing is designed to be significantly more affordable than brand-name alternatives purchased without insurance.

Question 20

How much is shipping?

Accepted Answer

Shipping is a flat $35 per order, regardless of vial size or quantity. Your medication ships in discreet, temperature-controlled packaging directly to your door.

Question 21

How long does shipping take?

Accepted Answer

Most orders are shipped within 1–2 business days of physician approval and typically arrive within 3–5 business days. You will receive tracking information once your order has shipped.

Question 22

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit and debit cards. Payment is processed securely at checkout.

Question 23

Can I change my dose or vial size each month?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can select a different vial size with each order based on your physician's guidance and your progress. There is no requirement to stay on the same dose.
