Compounded Semaglutide (GLP-1)

How semaglutide works

Semaglutide mimics GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), a hormone your gut naturally releases after eating. It helps regulate appetite, slows stomach emptying, and supports healthy blood-sugar control, which together can reduce hunger and help you feel full sooner.

It is taken as a small once-weekly subcutaneous injection. Your provider starts you at a low dose and increases it gradually to balance results with tolerability.

What makes it "compounded"

Compounded semaglutide is prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety or effectiveness. They are dispensed only pursuant to a valid prescription from a licensed provider for an individual patient.
