If youve seen low-cost semaglutide or tirzepatide online, understanding the difference between compounded and properly sourced medications is critical for your safety
The Waltzman Institute is exclusively carrying two injection treatments for their patients, semaglutide and tirzepatide for weight loss in Long Beach
Before prescribing, providers will check for any red flags, like a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or gastrointestinal conditions like gastroparesis
The Formula: mg to mL Desired dose (mg) Concentration (mg/mL) = Volume to inject (mL) Example Semaglutide starting dose: 0.25 mg 5 mg/mL = 0.05 mL Converting mL to Units on a Syringe To convert mL to units, multiply by 100: 0.05 mL 100 = 5 units So a 0.25 mg dose of Semaglutide (5 mg/mL concentration) = 5 units on an insulin syringe
Reconstitution technique Wipe both vial stoppers, let the BAC water run down the inside vial wall, and swirl gently without shaking
Final Thoughts Tirzepatide and Mounjaro are not competing products
