Home›Legal›Tirzepatide in Florida
Tirzepatide is a prescription substance in the United States. Tirzepatide is an FDA-approved dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. The compounding shortage exemption expired in early 2025. Current federal law generally prohibits compounded tirzepatide outside of narrow exceptions. Providers offering compounded tirzepatide should have clear documentation of their legal basis. In Florida, compounding is governed by the Florida Board of Pharmacy (FBP). In Florida, advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) with prescriptive authority and physician assistants may prescribe compounded peptides within the scope of their collaborative agreement. Florida's telehealth laws permit prescribing without prior in-person visit in many contexts, which has made Florida a hub for telehealth peptide programs. Prescribers must hold a Florida license to prescribe to Florida patients.
FDA Approval Status
FDA-approved as Mounjaro (type 2 diabetes, 2022) and Zepbound (chronic weight management, 2023). FDA declared the tirzepatide shortage resolved in December 2024.
Compounding Pharmacy Rules (Federal)
Compounded tirzepatide was broadly permitted during the shortage period. Following FDA's shortage resolution in December 2024, 503B outsourcing facilities had until February 18, 2025, and 503A pharmacies until March 19, 2025, to wind down compounding. As of mid-2025, compounded tirzepatide is generally prohibited except for narrow clinical exceptions under a valid prescription.

Compounding Overview
Florida has a large and active compounding pharmacy sector. The Florida Board of Pharmacy (Department of Health) regulates sterile and non-sterile compounding, requiring separate permits for each type. Florida pharmacies that compound sterile preparations must comply with USP 797 and undergo periodic inspections. Florida has specific rules for "office use" compounding — a provision that allows prescribers to order pre-mixed sterile compounds for use in their offices, which is relevant to many peptide clinics.

Tirzepatide is a novel dual GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 receptor agonist developed by Eli Lilly. It has demonstrated significant efficacy in clinical trials for both glycemic control and weight reduction, with some studies showing superior weight loss compared to semaglutide.
