What is microdosing a GLP-1?
Microdosing is a plan that uses lower, steady doses of a compounded GLP-1 medicine instead of stepping up to higher doses. KIN Meds offers two options: Microdose Personalized GLP-1 (compounded semaglutide) and Microdose Personalized GLP-1/GIP (compounded tirzepatide with added B vitamins), both as a weekly injection.
Microdosing is not an FDA-approved dosing plan, and there is limited research on it. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality. A licensed provider decides whether a lower-dose plan is appropriate for you.

Prescription required.
All product safety information →Full safety information
Important: Class warning for GLP-1 medicines: risk of thyroid C-cell tumors. In rodent studies, medicines in this class caused thyroid C-cell tumors. It is not known if they cause these tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in people. Do not use if you or any family member has ever had MTC, or if you have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Tell your provider right away about a lump or swelling in your neck, trouble swallowing, hoarseness or shortness of breath.
A lower dose does not remove the risks of GLP-1 medicines. The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, belly pain and lower appetite. They are most likely when you start or step up a dose and often ease with time. Serious but less common risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, low blood sugar (especially with insulin or a sulfonylurea), kidney problems from dehydration, serious allergic reactions, and changes in mood. Get emergency care for severe belly pain that will not go away, signs of an allergic reaction, or thoughts of self-harm.
Not for use during pregnancy. Stop at least 2 months before a planned pregnancy and tell your provider if you are breastfeeding. Tell the care team if you have surgery planned, since these medicines can affect anesthesia and how your stomach empties.
Compounded vials require careful measuring. Follow your provider and pharmacy instructions exactly.

Good questions.
Kind answers.
What does microdosing GLP-1 mean?
Microdosing a GLP-1 means using a lower, steady weekly dose instead of stepping up to higher doses over time. At KIN Meds, a licensed provider chooses the dose of compounded semaglutide or compounded tirzepatide with B vitamins. Microdosing is not an FDA-approved dosing plan and research on it is limited, so your provider will talk through what is known before you start.
Is microdosing safer than a standard GLP-1 dose?
Lower doses may mean fewer or milder stomach side effects for some people, but they do not remove the risks of GLP-1 medicines. The boxed warning about thyroid C-cell tumors, and risks like pancreatitis and gallbladder problems, still apply. A licensed provider reviews your history and decides whether a lower-dose plan is appropriate and safe for you.
Which medicines are used in the Microdose program?
There are two options. Microdose Personalized GLP-1 is compounded semaglutide. Microdose Personalized GLP-1/GIP is compounded tirzepatide with added B vitamins. Both are weekly injections compounded by a licensed 503A pharmacy for an individual patient, and neither is FDA-approved. Your provider decides which one, if either, fits your health history and goals.
Can I use a lower dose as a longer-term plan?
Some people and their providers use a lower dose as part of a longer-term metabolic health plan. There is limited research on this approach, and it is not an FDA-approved dosing plan. If you are thinking about stepping down, message the care team so your provider can review your history and decide whether a lower dose or another approach makes sense.
How do I start a microdose plan?
Start the KIN Meds online intake and mention that you are interested in a lower-dose plan. A licensed provider reviews your answers in 24 hours or less and decides whether treatment is appropriate. If it is, your medicine ships from a licensed U.S. partner pharmacy with expedited shipping, cold-packed when needed, with dosing instructions included.
What happens if the provider says treatment is not right for me?
If a licensed provider reviews your intake and decides treatment is not appropriate, you are not charged for treatment. The provider may explain why, suggest a different option in KIN Meds care, or recommend you see a local doctor first. That decision is based on your health history, current medicines and safety, not on which product you picked in the quiz.
