What differs between the three products below is who makes it, whether a regulator has registered it, and who is accountable for what is in the pen or vial. Tirzepatide products in the Philippines, from the sources on this page, checked 23 September 2026 | Product | Made by | FDA Philippines registration | How it reaches a patient | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Mounjaro (branded) | Eli Lilly | Registered: 12 certificates (KwikPen and single-dose vial) | Prescription, dispensed by a licensed pharmacy | | Compounded tirzepatide | A compounding pharmacy, per the programs offering it | None: tirzepatide is registered only as Mounjaro | Prescription through a program (GoRocky Weight Management and &you (andyou.ph) Care Plan) | | Research-grade vial | Not a registered manufacturer; sold as laboratory material | Not registered; FDA Philippines has warned against unregistered tirzepatide vials | Not dispensed for patients | ## Branded: Mounjaro In the Philippines, tirzepatide is registered only as Mounjaro, with 12 certificates of product registration on the FDA verification portal covering the KwikPen and single-dose vial presentations, each a prescription drug. Zepbound, Lilly's other tirzepatide brand, has no Philippine registration on the portal. Current pharmacy prices by pen strength are on the [Mounjaro price Philippines](https://www.philippinespeptides.com/guides/mounjaro-philippines) page, and the molecule, its trials and how it is supplied are in the [tirzepatide Philippines](https://www.philippinespeptides.com/guides/tirzepatide-philippines-2026) guide. Mounjaro is a prescription medicine, and prescribing belongs with a licensed Philippine physician. ## Compounded tirzepatide Compounding means a pharmacy prepares a medicine for a prescription instead of a manufacturer producing a registered product. On 23 September 2026, 2 Philippine telehealth programs on this site's tracker named compounded tirzepatide on their own pages: GoRocky Weight Management and &you (andyou.ph) Care Plan. Their own disclaimers describe it plainly: - &you (andyou.ph) Care Plan: Our tirzepatide is compounded by a licensed pharmacy. It is not FDA-approved - &you (andyou.ph) Care Plan: Compounded medications are not reviewed or approved by the FDA for safety or effectiveness. The disclaimers do not say which FDA they mean. The programs' prices, what each fee includes and where their own pages contradict themselves are on the [GLP-1 telehealth tracker](https://www.philippinespeptides.com/telehealth). Note ### What the manufacturers say ## Research-grade tirzepatide vials A research-grade vial is lyophilized tirzepatide sold as laboratory material. It is not compounded for a patient, not dispensed against a prescription and not a medicine, and it is not a substitute for a prescribed pen. FDA Philippines has issued 3 warnings against unregistered tirzepatide products: - [FDA Advisory No. 2026-1019, 4 September 2026](https://www.fda.gov.ph/fda-advisory-no-2026-1019-public-health-warning-against-the-purchase-and-use-of-the-unregistered-drug-product-peptatide-tirzepatide-for-subcutaneously-use-only-15mg-and-peptatide-bacterios/): The FDA warned the public against buying or using the unregistered drug product Peptatide Tirzepatide 15mg sold with Peptatide bacteriostatic water, which has no Certificate of Product Registration. - [FDA Advisory No. 2026-1020, 4 September 2026](https://www.fda.gov.ph/fda-advisory-no-2026-1020-public-health-warning-against-the-purchase-and-use-of-the-unregistered-drug-product-tirzepatide-subcutaneously-use-only-30mg-multi-use-vial-and-bac-water-0-9-benz/): The FDA warned the public against buying or using an unregistered 30 mg multi-use tirzepatide vial sold with bacteriostatic water, which has no Certificate of Product Registration. - [FDA Advisory No. 2026-0814, 30 July 2026](https://www.fda.gov.ph/fda-advisory-no-2026-0814-public-health-warning-against-the-purchase-and-use-of-the-unregistered-drug-product-tirz-laine-tirzepatide-30mg-3-ml-99-purity/): The FDA warned the public against buying or using the unregistered drug product Tirz Laine Tirzepatide 30mg/3 mL 99% Purity, which has no Certificate of Product Registration. What the research on tirzepatide found, and its regulatory status in the US and EU, are on the [tirzepatide compound page](https://www.philippinespeptides.com/peptides/tirzepatide). ## What Philippine law says Section 11(a) of RA 3720 as amended by RA 9711 prohibits the manufacture, importation, sale, distribution, promotion or advertising of any health product that is unregistered, adulterated or misbranded. This site's legal research, checked 23 September 2026, found no FDA Philippines or DOH issuance that addresses compounded GLP-1 medicines by name. News outlets reported a Philippine College of Physicians advisory in March 2026, but this site’s legal research found no primary document for it, so this page does not quote it. The full framework is on the [regulation hub](https://www.philippinespeptides.com/legal). This is general information, not legal advice. ## Questions to ask before a compounded prescription These follow from the gaps above. They are questions for the prescriber and the program, not medical advice. - Which pharmacy compounds the product, and does it hold an FDA Philippines License to Operate? - Does the product itself have a Certificate of Product Registration, and if not, on what basis is it dispensed? - Is a certificate of analysis available for the batch, naming the laboratory, the batch number and what the test covered? - Why a compounded product rather than the registered medicine, and does the physician document that choice? Head-to-head evidence between the two registered GLP-1 medicines is on [Mounjaro vs Ozempic](https://www.philippinespeptides.com/guides/mounjaro-vs-ozempic-philippines). Prescribing belongs with a licensed Philippine physician. ## FAQ ### What is compounded tirzepatide? Compounded tirzepatide is tirzepatide prepared by a pharmacy for a prescription, rather than manufactured and registered as a branded medicine like Mounjaro. 2 Philippine telehealth programs named it on their own pages on 23 September 2026; one of them states that its tirzepatide is compounded by a licensed pharmacy and is not FDA-approved. In the Philippines, tirzepatide is registered only as Mounjaro (12 certificates of product registration), and prescribing belongs with a licensed Philippine physician. ### Is compounded tirzepatide legal in the Philippines? This site's legal research, checked 23 September 2026, found no FDA Philippines or DOH issuance that addresses compounded GLP-1 medicines by name. What the law does say is general: Section 11(a) of RA 3720 as amended by RA 9711 prohibits the manufacture, importation, sale, distribution, promotion or advertising of any health product that is unregistered, adulterated or misbranded. Whether a given compounded product falls inside or outside that rule is a question for the prescriber and the dispensing pharmacy. This is general information, not legal advice. ### Is compounded tirzepatide the same as Mounjaro? It is the same molecule but not the same product. Mounjaro is Eli Lilly's registered medicine, made under a regulator-approved process and dispensed by a pharmacist against a prescription. A compounded version is prepared by a pharmacy and has not been through registration. The US FDA note in the regulatory dataset says an approval covers the named branded medicine for its labelled use only. ### Is a research-grade tirzepatide vial the same as compounded tirzepatide? No. A research-grade vial is sold as laboratory material, not dispensed for a patient against a prescription, and is not a medicine. FDA Philippines has warned against unregistered tirzepatide vials 3 times (FDA Advisory No. 2026-1019, 4 September 2026; FDA Advisory No. 2026-1020, 4 September 2026; FDA Advisory No. 2026-0814, 30 July 2026). Neither a compounded preparation nor a research vial substitutes for a prescribed, registered pen.
