Who reviews my assessment?
A doctor who holds an active Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) license. The doctor decides whether treatment is right for you, and may ask for more information, tests or a consultation first.
Can I get medicine without a doctor?
No. Every medicine starts with a prescription a licensed doctor writes for you after reviewing your assessment.
Who prepares my medicine?
A licensed pharmacist at our verified partner pharmacy, which holds a License to Operate from FDA Philippines. We don't name the pharmacy on this site yet.
What does patient-specific mean?
Your medicine is prepared for you by name, based on the prescription your doctor wrote. It is not a ready-made product taken from a shelf.
Is compounded semaglutide the same as Ozempic® or Wegovy®?
No. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are distinct from Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro® and Zepbound®. Results from trials of those brands should not be assumed for compounded versions.
Can I use a different pharmacy?
Yes. You can fill your prescription at any pharmacy you choose.
How much does it cost?
Compounded semaglutide starts at ₱3,190 and compounded tirzepatide at ₱3,990, every 4 weeks. The total includes the ₱500 Obra care fee and changes with your prescribed dose. The assessment is free.
