Compounded Tirzepatide in Stuart, FL

Everything for one price.
What tirzepatide costs at each dose.
You pay per vial, not per month. As your dose increases, each vial lasts fewer weeks, so your weekly cost goes up. Here is what to expect at each step, so there are no surprises.
| Weekly dose | Vial lasts about | Approx. cost per week |
|---|---|---|
| 3 mg | 12 weeks* | $42 |
| 5.25 mg | 11 weeks | $44 |
| 7.5 mg | 8 weeks | $63 |
| 10 mg | 6 weeks | $83 |
*Each vial has a beyond-use date of about 90 days, so at lower doses it is used within about 12 weeks even though medication remains.
Not everyone needs the highest dose. Amanda sets and adjusts your dose based on how you respond, and reviews your expected costs with you at your consultation. Cost per week is based on $500 per 60 mg vial, which can be paid in 2 installments of $250. Tirzepatide Flex uses the same 15 mg/mL, 4 mL vial, so the same costs apply.

What is compounded tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. It acts on two hormone pathways your body uses to regulate appetite and blood sugar after eating. It is the active ingredient in the FDA-approved brand-name products Zepbound and Mounjaro.
Compounded tirzepatide is prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy for an individual patient with a prescription. It is not FDA-approved, and it is not the same as, or a generic version of, Zepbound or Mounjaro. At Nuvo, it's prescribed only after a clinical evaluation, alongside guidance on nutrition, activity and follow-up.
How it works
- Activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors
- Helps you feel full sooner and reduces appetite for many people
- Slows how quickly your stomach empties
- Helps the body release insulin when blood sugar is elevated and lowers glucagon
Who it may help, and who should not take it.
Who may be a candidate
FDA-approved versions of this medication for weight management are used for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol, together with a reduced-calorie diet and more physical activity.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. Whether treatment is appropriate for you is decided by Amanda after a clinical evaluation of your health history, current medications and goals. Nuvo serves adults located in Florida.
Do not use if you have
- A personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer
- Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
- A prior serious allergic reaction to tirzepatide
Tell Amanda before starting if you
- Are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Use birth control pills or other oral hormonal contraceptives
- Have had pancreatitis, gallbladder disease or kidney problems
- Have type 2 diabetes, especially with diabetic eye disease (retinopathy)
- Take insulin or a sulfonylurea, which can raise the risk of low blood sugar
- Have a surgery or procedure with anesthesia or sedation coming up
- Take any other GLP-1 or weight-loss medication
- Have a history of depression or other mental health concerns
How Tirzepatide is taken.
- Once a week, on the same day each week, as a small injection under the skin of the stomach, thigh or upper arm.
- Started at a low dose and increased gradually, with at least 4 weeks at each dose, and only when Amanda directs. Going slowly helps your body adjust and can reduce stomach side effects.
- Shipped overnight cold via FedEx with your syringes and supplies. Keep it refrigerated. The vial has a beyond-use date of about 90 days.
- If you use birth control pills: tirzepatide can make oral contraceptives less effective. FDA labeling advises switching to a non-oral method, or adding a barrier method, for 4 weeks after starting and for 4 weeks after each dose increase.
- If you miss a dose, call or text Nuvo at (772) 210-4649 for guidance rather than guessing.
