Semaglutide Compounded

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is an injectable prescription medication originally approved for treating type 2 diabetes. More recently, it has shown great promise as a weight loss agent when prescribed in higher doses than those used for diabetes.

Semaglutide helps with weight loss in two key ways:

• It acts on centers in the brain to reduce appetite, leading to decreased food intake


• It slows digestion, allowing feelings of fullness to last longer after eating

Studies have shown that semaglutide can help patients lose 15-18% of their body weight over 68 weeks when combined with counseling and lifestyle changes. This amount of weight loss can have very meaningful impacts on health.

Who is a Candidate for Semaglutide?

Semaglutide may be an option for patients who:

• Have a BMI of 30 or higher (or 27-29.9 with an obesity-related health condition)


• Have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone


• Do not have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2

Semaglutide should not be used in patients under 18 years old, during pregnancy, or while breastfeeding.
