$160/month compounded tirzepatide weight loss in Dallas
Looking for medically supervised compounded tirzepatide weight loss in Dallas? We offer compounded tirzepatide — a dual-action GIP/GLP-1 medication — for $160 per month in-clinic (medication, any dose), with in-person visits and monitoring. Pricing is posted up front. Care is led by a provider with 27 years of experience, with telemedicine visits available for some follow-ups.
What is compounded tirzepatide?
Compounded tirzepatide is prepared by a state-licensed 503A compounding pharmacy and is not FDA approved — the FDA has approved only the brand-name products. Compounded medications are prescribed when a patient has a clinical need that a commercially available product does not meet, a determination Charles Ortega, PA-C makes based on your individual health profile.
Compounded tirzepatide is related to the GLP-1 receptor agonist class. Unlike compounded semaglutide, which targets only one hormone receptor, compounded tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist:
- GLP-1 activation — designed to reduce appetite, slow stomach emptying so you feel full longer, and help regulate blood sugar after meals
- GIP activation — a second hormone pathway being studied for its role in appetite and metabolism
You take it as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection (a small needle just under the skin, similar to an insulin pen), and most patients administer it at home.
What the research does and doesn’t show
Studies of FDA-approved tirzepatide products reported meaningful average weight loss. Compounded versions were not studied in those trials, so those results cannot be assumed to apply.
Compounded tirzepatide is not FDA approved, and FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness, or quality (FDA, “FDA’s Concerns with Unapproved GLP-1 Drugs Used for Weight Loss”).

How our compounded tirzepatide program works
Initial consultation
Comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, weight loss history, current conditions, and goals.
Lab work & screening
Lab work is recommended, such as CMP, lipid panel, A1C/fasting glucose, and thyroid function, to help your provider assess whether this may be appropriate for you.
Begin treatment
Start at a low weekly dose selected for you, with injection training so you're confident at home.
Regular monitoring
Weekly vitals and weight with a medical assistant; a scheduled visit with Charles every 6 weeks (4 to 5 weeks if your dose needs adjusting).
Maintenance planning
As you near your goal, we build a maintenance plan with you.
Who is a candidate?
Compounded tirzepatide may be appropriate for you if:
- Your BMI is 30 or higher (obese)
- Your BMI is 27 or higher with at least one weight-related condition (type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea)
- You’ve tried diet and exercise without lasting results
- You’re committed to lifestyle changes alongside medication
- You are at least 18 years old
Who should not take it
- Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or MEN 2. The FDA labels for FDA-approved tirzepatide products list these as contraindications and carry a boxed warning about thyroid C-cell tumors in rodents; relevance to humans is unknown.
- History of severe pancreatitis
- Pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding
- Known hypersensitivity to compounded tirzepatide or any formulation ingredient
- History of severe gastroparesis or other serious GI conditions
Managing side effects
Many side effects are temporary and can be managed with medical supervision. Common effects include nausea (which may improve as your body adjusts), diarrhea or constipation, decreased appetite, minor injection-site reactions, and fatigue during dose adjustment. Serious effects can include pancreatitis and gallbladder problems.
How we manage them
- Start at a low dose and titrate slowly — no rushing
- Dietary guidance to minimize GI discomfort
- Adjust dosage based on tolerance — slow titration, hold, or modify schedule
- Regular visits to help catch and address issues early
- A way to reach the clinic between visits if you have concerns
If side effects worry you between visits, call the clinic at (214) 233-3094.
Flexible ways to pay
Monthly medication is $160/month in-clinic ($249/mo home delivery). Your initial consultation and follow-ups are billed separately, and lab work may be billed to insurance when applicable. While the medication is typically cash-pay, office visits, labs, and consultations may be covered by your plan — we accept BCBS, Medicare, UHC, and Cigna.
