GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide have transformed metabolic health treatment in recent years. For licensed medical professionals, adding GLP-1 therapy can be both clinically rewarding and financially sustainable — but only if the onboarding process is well planned.
Step 1 – Secure a Reliable Supply Source
Consistency in dosing and patient outcomes depends on predictable product availability. Work with a supplier who offers:
-
Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for every lot
-
Lot traceability
-
FDA-compliant sourcing from 503B outsourcing facilities or compliant 503A pharmacies*
This ensures your patients receive high-quality medication every time.
Step 2 – Establish Clinical Protocols
Before prescribing your first GLP-1 treatment, develop clear protocols that outline:
-
Initial and maintenance dosing
-
Injection training for staff and patients
-
Follow-up intervals for monitoring results and side effects
Provider checklists and competency tools help ensure each member of your team delivers care consistently.
Step 3 – Prepare Patient Education Materials
Patients should understand what GLP-1 therapy involves, including expected benefits, common side effects, and treatment timelines. Provide:
-
Printed handouts for initial consultations
-
Digital resources for ongoing reference
-
Informed consent forms
Clear communication improves adherence and builds patient confidence.
Step 4 – Monitor Inventory & Plan Ahead
GLP-1 therapy is a long-term commitment. Avoid supply interruptions by:
-
Tracking usage rates
-
Setting reorder reminders
-
Accounting for lead times during busy seasons
A proactive approach keeps patient treatment plans on track.
