  • We am available Monday through Friday from 9:00am-5:00pm.

  • Text or message me on my business mobile or the patient portal, click the scheduling link for a phone appointment, or email dr.rajivparti@gmail.com.

  • Compound medications come in a multi-use vial that contains several doses.

  • I recommend 31G 1cc 5/16” syringe. You can purchase these at Amazon or any local pharmacy.

  • Medication from the compound pharmacy will arrive in approximately five business days. Look out for an email from the pharmacy within 24 hours of when your medication will arrive to your home.

  • These medications should be kept cold and stored in the refrigerator.

  • Watch the short video below for instructions on how to give yourself a shot.

  • The medications must be increased slowly. Start with the lower dose for 4 doses (month one). Increase to the higher dose on your 5th dose (month two). If you stop taking your injections then restart, you must start at the lower dose and titrate up again.

  • You may stop the medication once you achieve goal weight, but some patients continue to take the lower dose every 2-4 weeks to maintain appetite suppression. If you notice your appetite is out of control and your weight starts to creep up, take a dose and record the date.

  • You may take these medications up to 48 hours early or late. You are more likely to get side effects when taking the medication early.

  • Constipation and stomach upset are common side effects but generally well tolerated by most people. Remember to eat slowly and smaller portions. Overeating will cause you to have more stomach upset. Contact me for recommendations to manage any symptoms.

  • I charge on a monthly subscription, every 30 days. You may cancel at any time prior to the charge. Once you are charged, I will order your medications.

  • People with a history or family history of medullary thyroid cancer should not take this medication. People with a history of pancreatitis should not take this medication. I will review your health history to see if there are any contraindications for you.

  • A compound pharmacy is one that mixes medications based on a single prescription as opposed to a mass-produced medication that is delivered to the retail pharmacy. Compound medications are used for people who have unique prescriptions, are prescribed a medication off-label, or for people who need liquid forms of medication because they have trouble swallowing pills.
