How do you qualify for GLP-1 weight loss medication?
Adults with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more with a weight-related condition, may be considered. Meeting that threshold does not guarantee a prescription. The decision comes after your screening, history review and lab work, and it can be one medication, a different one, another evaluation first, or no prescription.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-04Who can prescribe GLP-1 weight loss medication?
A licensed prescriber working under Dr. Josh Allen, D.O., InjectCo’s Medical Director. In Texas, physicians can prescribe, and nurse practitioners and physician assistants can prescribe when a physician delegates that authority to them. Ask the clinic who your prescriber is.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-04Are compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide FDA approved?
No. Compounded versions are not FDA-approved products. They do not go through the FDA’s premarket review of safety, effectiveness and quality. The FDA says compounded drugs should only be used when a patient’s medical needs cannot be met by an FDA-approved drug.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-04Is a compounded medicine the same as the FDA-approved brand?
No. A compounded preparation is not a generic version of an approved brand. It is not the same manufactured product, and the FDA has not reviewed it for equivalence. Ask your clinician exactly what you are being prescribed.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-04How can I find out where my medication was compounded?
Ask your clinician, and check the pharmacy or facility name on your prescription label. The FDA publishes a list of registered 503B outsourcing facilities, and registration does not mean the FDA approved the product. For semaglutide, ask whether the preparation uses semaglutide base, because the FDA warns against compounding with semaglutide sodium or semaglutide acetate.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-04Why can’t STEP 1 and SURMOUNT-1 predict my result?
They report averages for commercially manufactured products taken under a controlled trial protocol. They did not study compounded preparations, and an average does not tell you what one person will lose.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-04Does my dose automatically go up every month?
No. The monthly review looks at how you are tolerating the current dose and how you are responding. It can end with no change at all.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-04What if I measure the wrong dose of a compounded medication?
Call the clinic at (940) 298-1358 or Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222. Get emergency care for severe vomiting, severe stomach pain, fainting or signs of very low blood sugar. Never convert milligrams to syringe units with an online chart.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-04Are weight loss injections safe?
They carry real risks alongside their benefits. The FDA-approved semaglutide and tirzepatide products carry serious warnings, including thyroid C-cell tumors in rodent studies and pancreatitis, on top of the common stomach side effects, and compounded versions are not FDA approved. That is why screening and lab work come before any prescription here. Our guides on whether semaglutide is safe for weight loss and how safe tirzepatide is go deeper.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-04What does $425 a month include, and how is the $1,800 option different?
$425 a month covers your consultation, lab work ordered for the program, semaglutide or tirzepatide when it is prescribed, nurse check-ins every two weeks and a monthly dose review. The $1,800 option is one up-front payment for a 6 to 8 month program with the same scope. Ask the clinic what happens if your plan changes before the program ends.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-04Does insurance cover medical weight loss at InjectCo Argyle?
The program is self-pay. HSA and FSA funds may be used for eligible expenses depending on your plan, so confirm with your plan administrator. Financing is also available through CareCredit and Cherry. For costs outside our program, see our guide to semaglutide cost without insurance.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-04Is there a telehealth weight loss program in Argyle?
Yes. You can choose video visits for your consultation and nurse check-ins instead of coming to the clinic in Bartonville. Lab work is still required, so ask the clinic how it will be collected before your first visit.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-04What happens when you stop taking a GLP-1 medication?
Appetite tends to return, and many people regain weight. In the STEP 1 extension, weight came back for many people after they stopped semaglutide, which is why your plan includes maintenance. Your prescriber sets the plan with you, based on the medication, your health history and how you responded. Our guide on avoiding weight gain after stopping semaglutide covers the habits that help.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-04Do you see weight loss patients from Flower Mound, Lantana and Denton?
Yes. We do not have a Flower Mound location, but the Bartonville clinic sees medical weight loss patients from Flower Mound, Lantana and Denton, including Flower Mound patients asking about tirzepatide or semaglutide, and check-ins can be done by video. Lantana sits just south of us on FM 407, and the service area list on this page shows measured drive times for each town.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-04Why is the clinic address in Bartonville?
The clinic sits inside the town of Bartonville, which borders Argyle to the east and shares the 76226 ZIP code. Google lists it as InjectCo MedSpa Argyle, and it is one clinic whichever town name you search.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-04What Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. GLP-1 is a hormone your gut releases after eating. It signals fullness, slows how quickly the stomach empties and helps regulate blood sugar, and semaglutide acts on the same receptor. Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. It activates both of those hormone pathways. Each medicine comes in more than one approved product, and each product has its own approved uses, doses and label. The NIDDK lists FDA-approved semaglutide and tirzepatide among the medicines approved for long-term weight management in adults. This page describes the clinic’s injectable program. Our semaglutide weight loss in Argyle page covers that medicine in more depth, and semaglutide drops have their own Argyle page with their own instructions.
