The problem every GLP-1 traveler faces

If you're among the millions of Americans now on tirzepatide — through Mounjaro, Zepbound, or a compounding pharmacy — you know how much consistency matters. Miss a week and you risk appetite rebound, discomfort on restart, and the deflating sense that you've taken a step backward after weeks of real progress.

But your injection day falls right in the middle of your Nicaragua trip. Bringing biologics across international borders adds logistics most travelers would rather avoid. And skipping a dose because it's inconvenient? That's not a real option.

We're the option you didn't know you had.

Consultorio San Judas Tadeo provides physician-supervised tirzepatide doses to travelers at every stage of the escalation protocol — so your schedule stays intact while you enjoy Nicaragua.

About our clinic

Consultorio San Judas Tadeo is a physician-led weight management and nutrition clinic with locations in Managua and Matagalpa. Our clinical director is a licensed physician (Médico y Cirujano, UNAN-León) with focused expertise in metabolic medicine and GLP-1/GIP dual-agonist therapy. We run a structured six-stage tirzepatide protocol and have managed patients at every point on the dose ladder.

We're not here to replace your doctor back home. Our job is singular: make sure your dose schedule doesn't get derailed by geography.

What tirzepatide actually costs in the U.S.

Without insurance, tirzepatide in the United States is one of the most expensive medications most patients will encounter. The numbers speak for themselves.

$1,100 Mounjaro average monthly cost without coverage
$550 Zepbound list price per month out of pocket
$40 Your dose at Consultorio San Judas Tadeo

Many of our traveling patients find that a visit here costs less than a single U.S. copay — and includes a physician consultation in the price.

Frequently asked questions

I'm already on a specific dose. Do I have to restart from 2.5 mg?
No. We match your established dose. There's no requirement to restart the protocol. Just tell us your current dose level and last injection date. Records are helpful but not required.
Do I need to speak Spanish?
No. Our clinical team conducts intake consultations in English with American and international patients.
Is the quality comparable to what I get in the U.S.?
Your dose is prepared under direct physician supervision using pharmaceutical-grade peptide and sterile bacteriostatic water — the same reconstitution standards you'd expect from a licensed compounding pharmacy.
What if my stay covers two injection weeks?
Tirzepatide is administered once weekly. If your trip spans more than one injection week, we're happy to schedule both visits in advance — just let us know your dates when you first reach out.
Do you accept U.S. insurance?
We are a private-pay clinic and do not bill U.S. carriers directly. We can provide an itemized receipt in English if you wish to submit for out-of-network reimbursement independently.
What payment methods do you accept?
USD cash, credit and debit cards, and major digital payment methods. No complications for traveling Americans.

A note on continuity of care

We're not replacing your prescribing physician. Our role while you're in Nicaragua is singular and simple: keep your dose schedule on track. You'll leave with a clinical note documenting exactly what was administered and when — share it with your provider at your next appointment back home.

GLP-1 therapy works best as a sustained, consistent intervention. A missed dose because of travel logistics is always preventable. That's what we're here for.
