You have tried eating less, moving more and tracking everything, but the scale still is not responding the way you expected. Medical weight loss in Austin looks beyond calorie targets, starting with your health history, bloodwork and a physician review so the plan is built on what your body is actually doing.
Prescription weight loss in Austin starts with Genniel, RN, the nurse at our clinic in the Holly neighborhood of East Austin. Genniel has been a registered nurse since 2010, and she is the person you talk to at your consultation and at your check-ins. Behind her, Dr. Josh Allen, D.O., InjectCo's Medical Director, reviews your history and labs before a prescription is written and whenever your dose or plan changes.
Austin patients mention in their reviews that she listens first and lays out the options before recommending anything. You will always know who is reading your results, and you can reach them.
Your first step is a screening that covers your health history, medications, past attempts and labs, and a physician reviews it before any medication is approved. After that you have a nurse check-in every two weeks and a dose review each month, so the plan follows how your body responds instead of a fixed script. Some people turn out not to be candidates, and they are told early. Outcomes vary between individuals.
If medication becomes part of your plan, it will be one of two compounded weight loss injections, each taken once a week. Semaglutide targets the GLP-1 receptor, which plays a part in hunger signals and digestion. Tirzepatide targets the GIP and GLP-1 receptors together.
Both can help you feel satisfied with less food and slow how fast the stomach empties. Which one you are offered depends on your labs, your history and the physician's review, not on the name you have heard of. Neither is a shortcut around food and movement.
About compounding: Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not test or review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are dispensed the way it does for approved drugs, and compounding is permitted only when certain legal and clinical conditions are met. Before you start, your nurse tells you what you are prescribed, why, and where it comes from.
InjectCo does not transfer weight-loss percentages or timelines from branded clinical trials onto compounded preparations. What happened in someone else's study is not a forecast for you.
Share a few details and the Austin nursing team reviews them against standard medical criteria. A licensed provider confirms everything during your screening. This is a starting point, not an approval for medication.
Your height, current weight and goal weight give the Austin team a starting point. Standard medical criteria, your health history and bloodwork determine whether a medical weight loss program is appropriate for you.
If you qualify, the program is one flat rate with no separate charge per visit.
This is not a diagnosis, an approval or a prescription. Your medical history, bloodwork and physician screening determine whether treatment is appropriate.
One flat price: $425 a month, or $1,800 for a full 6 to 8 month program paid up front. It is the same whether you are prescribed semaglutide or tirzepatide. The Instant Price Simulator gives you a starting figure in about a minute.
Included every month:
Approved patients can begin treatment the same day and pay over time instead of all at once.
How it works: apply online with CareCredit or Cherry in a few minutes, get a decision on the spot, then bring your approval to your appointment. Our team can help you compare options during your consultation and apply on the day if you prefer.
Terms and rates are set by the financing provider. Your nurse will walk you through your total cost, including any financing fee, before anything is booked.
A questionnaire or an online estimate is not approval for prescription weight loss in Austin. Your screening decides it.

$425 per month, or $1,800 if you pay for the 6 to 8 month program at once. Compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide cost the same. The fee includes the consult, physician review, labs, your medication if prescribed and check-ins every other week. HSA and FSA funds can be used.
We are at 2235 E 6th St, Unit 106, Austin, TX 78702, in the Holly neighborhood across East 6th from UT Elementary Charter School, about two thirds of a mile east of the Plaza Saltillo MetroRail station. The questionnaire and consultation can be done remotely, and your nurse lets you know if a clinic visit or lab draw is needed.
Your Austin nurse leads the consultation and every check-in. Dr. Josh Allen, D.O., Medical Director, reviews your case before a prescription is written and when the plan changes.
Yes. Downtown is about 10 minutes away, Travis Heights about 12, Mueller about 13 and West Lake Hills about 23, measured in afternoon traffic. Since most check-ins happen by video, distance matters less here than for an in-clinic treatment.
Every other week for check-ins, with a dose review once a month. Between appointments you can call or text the clinic with questions.
No. Online services often prescribe after a form. Here a nurse and a physician review your history and labs before deciding, and the same team watches how you respond and adjusts or stops treatment when that is the right call.
Not from a website. Your history, labs and any reason treatment would be unsafe need to be reviewed. Pregnancy, breastfeeding and some medical conditions rule it out.
They are not. The FDA does not evaluate compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are dispensed. If you are prescribed one, your nurse explains why that option was chosen and what its limits are.
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and stomach pain are the most common. Pancreatitis and gallbladder disease are rarer but serious. If you stop, hunger and weight can change in ways that vary from person to person, so check with your nurse first.
You do not need to know which medication you need before you come in. The first step is finding out whether medical treatment is appropriate for you at all. Your screening gives the clinical team the information they need to review your health, explain your options and decide what should happen next. Prefer to call or text? Reach the Austin team directly at (512) 737-7360.
