Introduction to ALMD

  • Provides greater access to medications through telehealth services.

Peptides Overview

  • Peptides: Not drugs, but amino acid structures forming protein chains.
  • Produced naturally in the body; also developed for specific functions.
  • Classified as pharmaceuticals primarily due to being injectable.

Alternative Administration Methods

  • Non-injectable options: Nasal sprays, drops (e.g., GP1 semaglutide).
  • Small needles used for injections, similar to diabetic needles.
