If you're looking to lose weight, you've probably heard of compound weight loss medications and trademark prescriptions. Both of these options can help you lose weight, but they have different pros and cons.
Compound weight loss medications are made by compounding pharmacies, which are pharmacies that mix and customize medications to meet individual needs. Trademark prescriptions, on the other hand, are medications that are manufactured by pharmaceutical companies and sold through pharmacies.
Here are some of the pros and cons of each type of medication:
