Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that regulates appetite and calorie intake, aiding in gradual and sustainable weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.

Individuals who are overweight or obese with weight-related medical problems, or those who struggle with weight management, may be candidates for Semaglutide, subject to a doctor's approval.

Like all medications, Semaglutide may have side effects, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation. It's essential to consult with a healthcare provider for a complete list of side effects.

Semaglutide is typically administered through a once-weekly subcutaneous injection, and the dose may be adjusted based on individual response and tolerability.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a class of medications that helps regulate blood sugar and control appetite. At Semaglutide Scripts, we offer compounded Semaglutide, which is prepared and formulated by specialized compounding pharmacies and is not FDA approved.

Compounded Semaglutide works by reducing appetite and slowing digestion, which makes you feel fuller longer, resulting in weight loss. It’s a powerful tool when paired with healthy lifestyle changes (diet and exercise).

Yes! Compounded Semaglutide can be used for weight loss in individuals who do not have diabetes but are struggling to lose weight through traditional methods.

Semaglutide: Works by mimicking GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which helps regulate appetite and slows gastric emptying, leading to reduced hunger and caloric intake.

No, Ozempic® and Wegovy® are FDA-approved, brand-name medications that contain Semaglutide. We offer compounded Semaglutide, which is custom formulated by U.S. licensed compounding pharmacies specifically for each unique patient. Compounding allows pharmacies to create customized formulations prescribed by a qualified medical practitioner. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine which option is best for you.

The absence of salt content in semaglutide, or ensuring that semaglutide is free from salts, is important for a few reasons related to its stability, efficacy, and how the body absorbs and reacts to the drug:

• Stability: Salts can sometimes cause changes in the stability of pharmaceutical compounds. Ensuring semaglutide remains anhydrous (without salt or moisture) helps maintain its shelf life and potency over time, preventing degradation or altered chemical structure.
• Absorption and Bioavailability: Semaglutide's formulation must allow it to be absorbed effectively by the body. The presence of salts could interfere with how the drug is absorbed, either reducing its effectiveness or causing it to act unpredictably in the body. Keeping the formulation free of salts ensures that the drug is delivered in a consistent and reliable manner.
• Injection Safety: Since semaglutide is typically administered via injection, it is important that the formulation is safe and non-irritating for tissues. Excess salts in injectable formulations can cause irritation or discomfort at the injection site. A formulation free of salts can minimize these side effects.
• Consistency Across Batches: Pharmaceutical manufacturing must ensure each batch of semaglutide is consistent. Removing variability, such as salt content, helps maintain uniformity in the production process, ensuring that each dose of the drug works as intended.

These factors combined ensure that compounded semaglutide remains a highly effective and safer treatment option Semaglutide compounded with salts.

• Significant Weight Reduction: Clinical trials have shown that Semaglutide can help people lose an average of 15-20% of their body weight, which is significantly higher than many other weight loss treatments.
• Appetite Suppression: Semaglutide mimics a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which helps regulate appetite and food intake. It reduces hunger, increases feelings of fullness, and slows gastric emptying, leading to less calorie consumption.
• Improvement in Metabolic Health: In addition to weight loss, Semaglutide can improve markers of metabolic health, such as blood sugar levels, insulin sensitivity, and lipid profiles. This can be particularly beneficial for people at risk of type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease.
• Reduction in Body Fat: Semaglutide helps in the reduction of visceral and subcutaneous fat, leading to improvements in body composition and reduced risk of obesity-related health conditions.
• Sustained Weight Loss: Studies suggest that patients on Semaglutide are more likely to maintain their weight loss compared to those using other interventions, as long as they continue taking the medication.
• Improved Quality of Life: Many patients report improvements in physical and mental health, such as increased energy levels, better mobility, and enhanced mood, as a result of weight loss with Semaglutide.

In many cases, yes. However, it’s essential to review your current medications with our healthcare team to ensure there are no interactions with compounded Semaglutide. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice, but here are some general categories to consider:
        1. Medications for Diabetes
Insulin or other diabetes medications: If you are taking insulin or other medications that lower blood sugar (like sulfonylureas), you may need to adjust the dosage. Taking Semaglutide with these medications can increase the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Your healthcare provider will monitor your blood sugar levels closely.
        2. Medications that Slow Gastric Emptying
GLP-1 receptor agonists (other medications in the same class as Semaglutide): Avoid taking other GLP-1 receptor agonists such as Liraglutide (Saxenda®, Victoza®) or Exenatide (Byetta®, Bydureon®), as they work similarly to Semaglutide. Taking multiple drugs in this class can lead to compounded effects and increased side effects.
Medications that slow down digestion: Semaglutide already slows gastric emptying, so combining it with other medications that have this effect (such as opioids) could worsen gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, vomiting, or bloating.
        3. Blood Pressure Medications
Antihypertensives: While Semaglutide doesn’t typically interact directly with blood pressure medications, losing weight while on Semaglutide can lead to reduced blood pressure. Your healthcare provider may need to adjust your dosage of medications like beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, or diuretics as your weight decreases.
        4. Oral Medications
Medications that require quick absorption: Since Semaglutide slows gastric emptying, it may delay the absorption of oral medications that need to be absorbed quickly, such as certain antibiotics or pain relievers. Discuss with your healthcare provider whether timing adjustments for these medications are necessary.
        5. Warfarin (and other blood thinners)
If you're on Warfarin or other anticoagulants, Semaglutide may alter how your body absorbs these medications, which could affect blood clotting. Regular monitoring of your INR (International Normalized Ratio) may be necessary to prevent issues like bleeding or clotting.
        6. Thyroid Medications
If you take medications for thyroid conditions, like Levothyroxine, be aware that Semaglutide has been linked to rare cases of thyroid tumors in animal studies (though this has not been confirmed in humans). Discuss your thyroid health with your healthcare provider to assess any risks.
        7. Other Medications
Certain antidepressants or psychiatric medications: While not a direct contraindication, medications that affect appetite or metabolism, such as SSRIs or antipsychotics, may influence how well Semaglutide works or contribute to side effects like nausea.
        8. Corticosteroids
Prednisone or other corticosteroids can increase blood sugar levels, which may counteract the blood sugar-lowering effects of Semaglutide. Monitoring and adjustments may be needed if you're on long-term steroid therapy.

Some medications may interact with Semaglutide, whether compounded or brand-name. Our providers will review your current medications to ensure safe use of Semaglutide.
