Welcome from the Rx3 team.
You’ve expressed interest in our compounded GLP-1 therapy. Here’s everything you need to start moving toward your weight-loss goals.
Please first watch this video to become familiar with our process before contacting the pharmacy.
This video is for general educational purposes. Your prescriber and pharmacist will determine whether a compounded medication is appropriate for your individual needs.
From first step to first dose
A quick walk-through of what to expect—eligibility, your formulation, getting set up, and staying on track.
What is compounding?
Before we proceed, we confirm your prescription is eligible for compounding. Rx3 prepares custom compounded GLP-1 medications—not the manufactured commercial products or their generic versions.
Your prescriber must indicate that you’re appropriate for a compounded formulation—specifically one that includes levocarnitine, which is included in all of our formulations to support:
- Muscle-mass maintenance
- Reduced fatigue
- Enhanced fat metabolism
Our formulations
We currently compound the following—all including levocarnitine:
All GLP-1 injections are compounded exclusively at our Chester, VA location—home to Virginia's first nationally accredited compounding pharmacy. With ownership serving patients and prescribers for over 60 years, you can be confident in our ability to meet your compounding needs with excellence.
Next steps
Initially, we’ll work with you to:
- Confirm your contact and patient information
- Review your prescribed quantity and dosing
- Go over pricing
- Coordinate pickup or delivery options
- Determine whether you need syringes
Once we confirm everything with you, we’ll give you a final price and collect payment. Then we begin preparing your product.
How it’s supplied
Your medication is dispensed in 1 mL (100-unit) vials only. The vials won’t look completely full—this is normal. The vial holds 2 mL and leaves room for empty space. Most doses are a fraction of the vial and last many weeks at smaller amounts.
Your provider sets your dose based on your progress, side effects, and goals. We usually start low and increase in 4-week increments, though dosing can differ. Doses typically range from 0.1 mL (10 units) to 1 mL (100 units), often weekly—but variations occur. Your bottle is labeled with your prescriber’s instructions. Helpful flyers on side effects and supplements are in our resources below.
Syringes
You’ll receive syringes as needed for a small fee—please request them at the time of your order. They come in bags of 10, in either 0.5 mL (50-unit) or 1 mL (100-unit) sizes.
You’ll draw up your own dose from the 1 mL vial; how long a vial lasts depends on your prescribed dose. New to subcutaneous injections? Watch our instructional injection-technique video—it’s very informative.
Staying on track
We strongly recommend keeping a simple log of your doses and remaining medication. It helps you request refills on time and avoid missed doses. Please note that processing can take up to one week, so plan refills ahead.
If you ever need to delay a dose, don’t worry—this isn’t a medical emergency. Most patients simply resume when medication is available, though a brief dose adjustment is sometimes recommended. You can always reach our pharmacist or prescriber for guidance.
