A patient asked

How about stacking TRT with peptide therapy. Are Sermorelin, Tesamorelin, or CJC w/ Ipamorelin actually safe to use with TRT? What are the real benef...

AlphaMD's answer

These are perfectly reasonable options. Currently we and other TRT providers can dispense Sermorelin, though not long ago it was permissible to work t...

I am 42 and have been unable to lose weight or build muscle for years now even working with trainers and nutritionists. Semagultide makes me horribly ...

AlphaMD's answer

We've treated men at 700 before. Relative hypogonadism is far more rare than normal than traditional low Testosterone, but if you're suffering then yo...

What’s the cost of trt + tirzepatide?

AlphaMD's answer

Our normal TRT program is $129 a month, and our normal Tirzepatide program is $386 a month. (Though if you wanted to use Semaglutide as your GLP-1, th...

A patient asked

Do you offer peptides and if so can you talk a little bit about which ones you offer and the possible benefits?

AlphaMD's answer

We do, though they are more tightly focused than a full on peptide provider. This is because we can only work with peptides that are available from ph...

A patient asked

Is mounjaro gonna be available in a pen soon and will that have the same supply issues that have plagued semaglutide?

AlphaMD's answer

Most likely not in the exact same pen like fashion, but maybe something close. Semaglutide & Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) are the chemicals & there's no ne...

A patient asked

has tirzepetide and semaglutide been studied for sublingual administration and what doses?

AlphaMD's answer

It has, and it is available through us as well. However this is only for Semaglutide, not Tirzepatide yet. The big pharmacies of Empower doesn't have ...

A patient asked

My next question if you don’t mind, is fat loss on TRT. Are there certain types of TRT that are better for aiding fat loss? I’ve been lifting heavy fo...

AlphaMD's answer

Typically finding that ideal range of high benefits to low side effects will be the best course of action when using TRT for fat loss. There isn't too...

A patient asked

Is your service available in Alabama?

AlphaMD's answer

Yes, for the most part. For some reason that we don't quite understand, none of our pharmacies can provide Semaglutide/Tirzepatide injections or subli...

A patient asked

What requirements do you require to get started with semaglutide, tirzepatiode or any of the following that you mentioned above ?

AlphaMD's answer

GLP-1s are less of a controlled medication that Testosterone & TRT is, which means the guidelines for use when not working with insurance justificatio...

A patient asked

I did semaglutide and had terrible nausea while on it. Is it the same for Tirzepatoide?

AlphaMD's answer

They are similar & there is something of a shared tolerance build up between them when switching between the two. However you can think of tirzepatide...

A patient asked

Any thoughts on being on GlP-1 agonists in conjunction w/ trt?

AlphaMD's answer

Perfectly fine, and honestly encouraged if you have a lot of weight to lose.

A patient asked

Does ALCAR have any effect on LH and FSH for men? I'm currently on 160mg Cypionate, 0.5mg semaglutide, and 500mg daily of ALCAR.

AlphaMD's answer

No. Acetyl L-Carnitine has no effect on LH or FSH. However, it is an excellent addition to anyone who wants to get the most out of their TRT.

A patient asked

Would your fat loss drugs help a guy at 20% BF get down to 12-15% significantly faster?

AlphaMD's answer

That's probably not the intended demographic, but it would certainly help you. GLP-1s are not at the same level of controlled substances as TRT Testos...

A patient asked

Is Tirzepatide even available? I heard it was hard to get in the US?

AlphaMD's answer

Yes, tirzepatide is available. We have several partnerships with different pharmacies and have never had problems with our patients getting access to ...

Is tirzepatide back to being available, or are you still only able to offer semaglutide?
