Your weight loss doctor will make a dosage plan based on your medical history and overall health after your teleWellness consultation. Typically, patients are started on a lower dosage and as your doctor receives feedback on your progress they may increase your dosage.
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist that mimics the hormone GLP-1’s effects on appetite regulation and digestion.
Both Wegovy* and Ozempic* contain semaglutide, which has received FDA approval. Rigorous clinical trials were conducted to confirm the drug's safety and effectiveness. Other weight loss medications lack the same level of practitioner experience and success rates as semaglutide. For those aiming to lose weight, semaglutide is a secure and effective option.
Compounded semaglutide is a medication tailored for individual patients and produced at an FDA-certified compounding facility or a state-licensed pharmacy. Compounded drugs are required to be tested for strength, sterility, and purity, with ingredients sourced from FDA-approved suppliers.
Compounding pharmaceuticals is lawful, however they do not require FDA pre-market approval since they are not mass-produced for the general public. They are created in response to specific requests from healthcare providers, meaning the dosing and administration methods may vary from commercially available medications.
Maintaining a healthy weight can lower your risk of developing conditions like diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and heart disease.

Semaglutide is administered as a subcutaneous injection once a week. The medication acts as an appetite suppressant by mimicking hormones that interact with your digestive system, which reduces feelings of hunger.
Semaglutide lowers caloric intake by delaying digestion and slowing gastric emptying. This means that food remains in your stomach longer when you take the drug, helping you feel satiated for extended periods and curbing your appetite.
Additionally, semaglutide influences the brain regions that manage cravings and hunger, enabling you to eat smaller meals less frequently.
While semaglutide is effective for weight loss, it may cause some side effects as your body adjusts to the medication. These side effects can vary in intensity, and not everyone will experience them. Common side effects include:
Most side effects are mild and temporary, often improving as your body gets used to the medication. To minimize discomfort, try eating smaller, low-fat meals and drinking plenty of water.
It’s important to talk to your healthcare provider if any side effects become severe or persistent, or if you experience symptoms like intense abdominal pain, signs of pancreatitis, or other serious reactions. Regular check-ins with your provider can help monitor your progress and adjust your dosage if needed.
Semaglutide GLP-1 injections are an effective treatment option for individuals seeking to lose weight, but they may not be suitable for everyone. A good candidate for semaglutide includes:
