At the starting dose, personalized compounded tirzepatide is $229 a month.

The complete dose list is on the personalized compounded tirzepatide page.

How does tirzepatide work?

Tirzepatide is a weekly injection that activates two receptors involved in appetite, GIP and GLP-1. The prescribing information for FDA-approved tirzepatide says GLP-1 regulates appetite and calorie intake, that GIP may add to that effect, and that the medicine slows how quickly your stomach empties. Personalized compounded semaglutide works on GLP-1 alone, which is the main difference between the two.

Does the drive depend on where in Palm Harbor you live?

A little. From central Palm Harbor, Nebraska Avenue to US 19 and then Tampa Road east is about 15 miles and 26 minutes without traffic. From Crystal Beach on the Gulf side, you start on Alternate 19 (Palm Harbor Boulevard), and the trip is about 16 miles and 29 minutes. Both finish the same way: Tampa Road through Oldsmar, Forest Lakes Boulevard, then Linebaugh Avenue east to 6904 W. Linebaugh Ave.

Tampa Road carries a lot of commuter traffic through Oldsmar at rush hour, so a midday visit is usually the smoothest. The clinic is open Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, and until 7 PM on Wednesdays.

Why bring your cholesterol results to the visit?

Because high cholesterol is common here, and your provider looks at your whole health picture before choosing a dose. The CDC's PLACES project estimates that 42.8% of Palm Harbor adults who have had their cholesterol checked were told it was high, as of 2023, a little above its 41.8% estimate for Pinellas County. Those modeled figures come from the PLACES 2025 release.

If you have recent lab results, bring them, along with a full list of your medications and supplements. That list matters with tirzepatide for another reason: because it slows stomach emptying, the prescribing information advises monitoring when it's taken with certain oral medicines, such as the blood thinner warfarin.

Do you have a colonoscopy or surgery coming up?

Tell the team doing it that you take tirzepatide. The prescribing information describes rare reports of pulmonary aspiration, where stomach contents are breathed into the lungs, in people on this class of medicine who had general anesthesia or deep sedation, because food can stay in the stomach longer. Let your Padgett provider know the procedure date as well.

Who should not take tirzepatide?

Anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, or with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), according to the prescribing information, which carries a boxed warning about thyroid C-cell tumors seen in rats. It should also be stopped if you become pregnant. Your provider asks about these before prescribing, so check your family history ahead of time if you can.

Where can you get outdoors near Palm Harbor?

Brooker Creek Preserve, in the northeastern corner of Pinellas County east of Lake Tarpon, is the county's largest natural area at about 8,700 acres of forested wetlands and pine flatwoods. It has boardwalks and hiking trails, an environmental education center at 3940 Keystone Road, and free admission.

Closer to home, the 47-mile Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail, which runs from St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs, passes through Palm Harbor on its way north. The FDA-approved form of tirzepatide is labeled for use alongside a reduced-calorie diet and more physical activity, so a regular walk or ride belongs in the plan.

In person or telehealth from Palm Harbor?

Both are practical at this distance. Some people like to meet their provider in person the first time, then handle dose check-ins by video. For telehealth you must be physically in Florida and show a valid Florida driver's license or state ID on camera, so if you spend part of the year out of state, schedule video visits for your weeks here.

What if you're already taking a GLP-1 medication?

Book a visit and tell us your current dose. Your provider decides with you whether personalized compounded tirzepatide makes sense and what dose to start. The online discount on the first month applies to new patients only.

Which nearby communities are close by?

Oldsmar is on the way in, about 17 minutes from the clinic without traffic. East Lake, across Lake Tarpon, is about 25 minutes by East Lake Road and Tampa Road, and Tarpon Springs about 32 minutes by US 19. Clearwater has its own tirzepatide page, and Palm Harbor has a personalized compounded semaglutide page too.

Personalized compounded tirzepatide questions from Palm Harbor

How far is the clinic from Crystal Beach?

About 16 miles and 29 minutes without traffic. Take Alternate 19 (Palm Harbor Boulevard) to Nebraska Avenue, then US 19 to Tampa Road east through Oldsmar, Forest Lakes Boulevard and Linebaugh Avenue. There is no toll or bridge on the way, and telehealth is available if the trip doesn't fit your week.

I have a family history of thyroid cancer. Can I take tirzepatide?

Tell your provider before anything else. The FDA-approved product is not to be used by anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or with MEN 2, and your provider reviews your history in detail. If you're not sure which type of thyroid cancer a relative had, try to find out before your visit.

Should I stop my injection before a colonoscopy?

Don't decide on your own. Tell the doctor doing the colonoscopy and your Padgett provider that you take personalized compounded tirzepatide, since it slows stomach emptying and aspiration under sedation has been reported rarely with this class of medicine. They'll tell you how to handle your dose around the procedure.
