📋 About Your Medication
Bliv offers both compounded GLP-1 medications prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies, and access to branded GLP-1 medications manufactured by Novo Nordisk (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and Eli Lilly (Mounjaro®, Zepbound®). Your prescription will specify which type you have been prescribed. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved finished drug products, though they are prepared under federal standards by licensed pharmacies. Branded medications are FDA-approved. If you have questions about which medication you are receiving, please check your prescription label or contact your Bliv provider.

Missing an occasional weekly injection is not a medical emergency, but how you handle it depends on how much time has passed.

Take your dose as soon as you remember, then return to your regular weekly schedule from that day forward. You do not need to take an extra dose or adjust your amount to compensate.

If more than several days have passed and your next scheduled dose is coming up soon, skip the missed dose entirely and simply resume your normal schedule on your next injection day. Taking two doses close together increases the likelihood of side effects and is not recommended.

Do not take a larger dose to make up for a missed one. Taking more than prescribed does not speed up results and significantly increases the risk of nausea, vomiting, and other side effects.
