Tell me about the medication:
- GLP-1s are a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. These mimic the GLP-1 hormone that is released in the gastrointestinal tract in response to eating.
- GLP-1 prompts the body to produce more insulin, which reduces blood glucose (sugar).
- GLP-1 in higher amounts also interacts with the parts of the brain that reduce appetite and signal a feeling of fullness.

Why Livea?
What does it cost:
- Name brand and generic medications have a couple things in common:
- They provide the same treatment. The FDA compares these drugs to determine if they offer the same active ingredients, dosages, form, and strength. Generic drugs must match name brand drugs for the FDA to approve them.
- They're tested for bioequivalence: The FDA also tests generic drugs to see if they act the same as name brand drugs when they're in your bloodstream.
- Name brand and generic medications may differ in a few ways:
- They might have different inactive ingredients: Generic drugs must have the same active ingredients as name brand ones, but they're allowed to have different inactive ingredients.
- They likely have different packaging: The packaging they come in usually differs regarding its overall style.
- The medication might look different: Generic drugs might not look the same as name brand ones, but this doesn't affect how well they work.
- Compounding pharmacies can customize commercial, name brand medications and generic ones to provide patients with personalized treatment.
- They do not create exact copies of commercially available medications, which is forbidden by law. Instead, they provide patients with modified forms as needed. They can also offer patients formulations that drug manufacturers have discontinued.
- Compounding pharmacies are also able to create different forms of medications for patients, such as gels, topical creams, tablets and even lollipops. These different forms can make medications easier for people to take.
