Why microdose

Four reasons to start small.

Some doctors now start GLP-1 medication low and go slow instead of using standard doses. Here’s why.

  • Woman smiling on an easy run under palm trees01

    A steadier pace

    Standard doses may take weight off fast. Microdosing may support a slower, steadier pace, around a pound or two a week, with a dose set by your provider.

  • Man in an orange cap and sport sunglasses outdoors02

    Protect your muscle

    Losing weight too fast may cost muscle along with fat. A gentler pace, plus strength training and enough protein, may help you keep it.

  • Woman relaxing in a bright room, looking at the camera03

    May mean fewer side effects

    Nausea is the most common complaint with GLP-1s. Starting low and going slow may give your body time to adjust.

  • Woman lacing her running shoes by the sea04

    Habits that last

    When you feel better, it may be easier to move more and eat well. A dose you can live with may leave room to build habits that stick.

Microdosing is off-label and hasn’t been studied in large trials. Your provider decides your dose. Individual results vary.

FAQs

Questions about microdosing.

What is Microdose GLP/GIP?

Taking a lower dose of tirzepatide than a standard weight-loss plan, prescribed and adjusted by a licensed provider. Your provider decides whether it fits your goals and health history.

Is this the same as a regular tirzepatide plan?

It’s the same medication, tirzepatide, compounded by Strive Pharmacy with B12 and glycine. The difference is the dose: your provider starts you lower and explains exactly how much to draw and when.

How much does it cost?

$149 a month, or $129 a month with a 2-month supply ($258 billed once). Same price for the injection or the tablet. You see the price before you pay, and you’re only charged if a provider prescribes it.

Can I microdose without needles?

Yes. Strive also makes a tirzepatide tablet. Choose it in your assessment and your provider will decide whether it’s a fit for you.

Who makes my medication?

Strive Pharmacy, a U.S. licensed compounding pharmacy. Your prescription goes straight from your provider to Strive, and Strive ships to you.

Is it FDA-approved?

No. Compounded tirzepatide is made for you by a licensed pharmacy from a valid prescription. Compounded medications aren’t reviewed by the FDA for safety or effectiveness.

What if I’m not a good fit?

Your provider will tell you why and talk you through other options. You’re only charged for medication a provider actually prescribes.

Compounded tirzepatide is not FDA-approved. Compounded medications are prepared for individual patients based on a valid prescription and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety or efficacy. Microdosing is an off-label use. Prescription required; a licensed provider decides whether treatment is right for you. Individual results vary. Product images are for illustration only.
