Everything you need to know about PeptideMD's telehealth peptide therapy
services.
General Questions
Peptide therapy uses specific peptides—short chains of amino
acids—to target and treat various health conditions. Peptides
occur naturally in the body and act as signaling molecules.
Therapeutic peptides can help with weight loss, muscle building,
healing, anti-aging, and more by mimicking or enhancing these
natural processes.
When prescribed and monitored by licensed healthcare providers,
peptide therapies are generally considered safe. All medications
we offer have been studied in clinical trials. Your provider will
review your medical history to ensure peptides are appropriate for
you and will monitor your progress throughout treatment.
Yes, all peptides offered through PeptideMD require a valid
prescription from one of our licensed healthcare providers. During
your consultation, your provider will evaluate your health history
and determine if peptide therapy is appropriate for you.
GLP-1 Medications
Both are GLP-1 receptor agonists, but tirzepatide also targets the
GIP receptor, making it a dual agonist. Studies suggest
tirzepatide may produce slightly greater weight loss results. Your
provider can help determine which option is best based on your
health profile and goals.
Results vary by individual, but clinical trials show an average
weight loss of 15-20% of body weight with semaglutide and 20-22%
with tirzepatide over 72 weeks. Your results depend on adherence
to the medication, diet, exercise, and other lifestyle factors.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
constipation, and stomach pain— especially when first starting or
increasing doses. These typically improve over time. More serious
side effects are rare. Your provider will discuss all risks during
your consultation.
