FDA-Approved GLP-1 Medications for Miami Patients

Dr. Kiswani-Barley prescribes only FDA-approved GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 medications. No compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide, ever. Prescriptions are sent to LillyDirect, Novo Nordisk direct, or your preferred pharmacy.

Wegovy

GLP-1

(semaglutide)

FDA-approved for chronic weight management. Weekly injection.

Ozempic

GLP-1

(semaglutide)

FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, also used for weight management.

Mounjaro

GIP/GLP-1

(tirzepatide)

Dual-action medication for type 2 diabetes and weight management.

Zepbound

GIP/GLP-1

(tirzepatide)

Why FDA-approved matters: Compounded GLP-1 medications are not FDA-approved and may have variable potency, purity, and sterility. The FDA has issued multiple warnings about compounded semaglutide products. Thrive RX exclusively prescribes brand-name, FDA-approved medications for Miami patients.
