Compounded Semaglutide

What is compounded Semaglutide?

Compounded Semaglutide is a customized form of the medication Semaglutide, which is typically used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is compounded, or specially formulated, by a pharmacist to meet the specific needs of an individual for weight loss purposes.

How does it work for weight loss?

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that works by slowing down digestion, reducing appetite, and increasing feelings of fullness, leading to reduced food intake and weight loss.

Administration and dosage:

Compounded Semaglutide is usually administered as a subcutaneous injection once a week, although the specific dosage may vary based on individual factors such as weight, medical history, and response to treatment.
Safety considerations: Compounded medications, including compounded Semaglutide, should be obtained from a reputable healthcare clinic to ensure quality and safety. It's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and any potential side effects.

Cost:

The cost of compounded Semaglutide shots will vary depending on the dosage. You will discuss your starting options with your healthcare provider during the time of evaluation.


The percentage of weight loss from compounded Semaglutide can vary depending on factors such as the dosage, duration of treatment, individual response to the medication, and adherence to lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise.

Studies have shown that compounded Semaglutide can lead to 20% body weight loss over 68 weeks.
