Are any peptides approved medicines?
As of September 2026, approved products for treating type 2 diabetes include Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide). Weight-care approvals cover Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide) products.
Ask about the exact product and what it is meant to treat.
Does a compounded product have the same approval?
A medicine made to order does not receive FDA approval, as of September 2026.
Ask why a made-to-order change is being proposed and which pharmacy prepares it.
Can someone in another state assess me online?
For online treatment while you are in Connecticut, your care professional needs a Connecticut licence, as of September 2026.
Ask for the name and licence number, then check the state record.
Is a prescription always guaranteed?
Medical-board guidance rejects treatment selected only from a patient’s menu choice without a real assessment.
Ask what the assessment will cover. Leave room for a test, another option or a decision to wait.
Does a very low price prove something is wrong?
FDA treats implausibly deep discounts as a warning sign; price alone is not proof that a pharmacy is improper.
Check the prescription, pharmacy record and full terms together.
