Is peptide therapy legal in Arizona?+
Yes. Peptides that are FDA-approved (such as semaglutide) are legal nationwide with a prescription. Compounded peptides are legal when prescribed by a Arizona-licensed physician and dispensed by a licensed 503A pharmacy authorized to ship to Arizona. Irvine Health operates in full compliance with Arizona state regulations and FDA guidance.
Do I need to travel for a consultation?+
No. The entire consultation is conducted via HIPAA-compliant video. A Arizona-licensed physician reviews your health history and conducts your visit remotely. If any in-person labs are needed, we direct you to a convenient lab partner near your address.
How fast is shipping within Arizona?+
Most prescriptions ship within 2-5 business days after physician approval, with delivery to most Arizona ZIP codes within 1-3 additional days. Cold-chain packaging maintains peptide integrity for thermolabile compounds. You'll receive tracking information and expected delivery date.
Are the pharmacies licensed to ship to Arizona?+
Yes. Our 503A compounding pharmacy partners hold non-resident pharmacy licenses in Arizona (and other states we serve). This is a legal requirement for interstate compounded medication shipping. Your prescription is routed to a pharmacy authorized for Arizona delivery.
What does it cost?+
Costs vary by peptide, dose, and protocol length. Initial consultations typically range $150-$350. Compounded peptides typically run $200-$500/month depending on compound. Full pricing is disclosed before any commitment. We also review whether insurance may cover FDA-approved options like Wegovy or Zepbound.
What if I move or travel within the US?+
If you relocate to another state where we operate, we transfer your care to a physician licensed in your new state. For short-term travel within the US, shipping can usually continue to your primary address. For international travel, discuss with your care team before planning.
