Here at Florida Aesthetics and Wellness, we pride ourselves with our relentless efforts to offer the widest range of medical-grade treatments and products at affordable prices.  For example, we partner with leading, FDA-registered compounding pharmacies to offer affordable compounded medications such as GLP1/Semaglutide.

Not everyone is familiar with compounded medications and how effective and safe they are.  Below we try to answer some frequent questions we hear from our patients about the compounded medications we offer here at Florida Aesthetics and Wellness.

We offer Compounded GLP-1 medications which contain the same Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) found in FDA-approved commercial GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro®.

We partner with FDA-registered Compounding Pharmacies that have local offices in our area. Our partner compounding pharmacies are distinguished by their unwavering commitment to quality and safety. They  ensure none of their medications are dispensed before passing rigorous sterility tests.  Additionally, they maintain a Randomized Potency Protocol (RPP) that tests the potency of various batches  weekly, ensuring consistent and reliable medication strengths.

Not all compounding pharmacies are created equal.  We are confident that our compounding pharmacy partners are dedicated to excellence and they do not cut corners in any aspect of their operations.

Our partners source their APIs exclusively from highly reputable and recommended wholesalers that have passed  their vendor qualification process. Their dedication to quality is further evidenced by the use of cGMP certified and FDA-registered drug establishments. They have the ability to provide Certificates of Analysis for all active ingredients. It should also be noted that their APIs for semaglutide and tirzepatide are base powders, which contain neither the acetate nor sodium salt attached to the molecule.

Our partners ensure the integrity of their formulations by subjecting each to extensive third-party testing.  Formulations with extended beyond-use dates (BUD) are supported and validated by stability data  obtained using a stability-indicating analytical method (SIA). This ensures that the formulation maintains its quality from day 1 to day 90. Aside from performing SIA, every prepared batch is tested for sterility and endotoxins. No batch is dispensed until a passing test is confirmed.

We select partners whose standards surpass the norm with a strict 3% or less variance between expected and actual strength, compared to the industry standard of 10%. Our partners meticulously adopt FDA and USP-NF guidelines, further  supported by their rigorous compliance efforts, routine personnel competency/training, and continual  environmental monitoring.

Our partners’ clean room technology features state-of-the-art equipment, including laminar flow hoods and semi-automatic vial crimpers, ensuring the highest level of medication purity and safety.
