The medication, and how it gets to Lake Nona

Weight-loss injections are a prescription, so they start with a physician visit. Here's what that looks like from the far side of the airport.

What is prescribed?

Compounded semaglutide or compounded tirzepatide, given by injection. Dr. Carroll chooses between them from your history. About the medications.

Who prescribes it?

Dr. Carroll, after a visit with you. He's the only physician in the practice, so he's also the one who adjusts it a month later. About Dr. Carroll.

How does it reach me?

It can be shipped to your home, packed with ice packs to keep it cold. If you're up in Maitland anyway, picking it up is free.

How is the dose decided?

It starts low and moves in small steps, at visits about once a month, guided by how you're feeling. How care works.

What does it cost?

The first visit is free. After that the price follows your dose and is explained in full before you commit. How pricing works.
