Compounded Semaglutide

Compounded semaglutide is a medication that contains semaglutide, the same active ingredient found in the FDA-approved drug Ozempic. Compounding allows the medication to be tailored to your specific needs, such as adjusting the dosage or adding specific ingredients that may enhance the effectiveness or tolerability of the drug. Compounded semaglutide is often used for patients who require a personalized approach to weight management.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a class of drugs that mimic the action of the hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). This hormone plays a key role in regulating appetite and blood sugar levels. By activating GLP-1 receptors, semaglutide helps to slow gastric emptying, increase feelings of fullness, and reduce appetite. This leads to a significant reduction in food intake, which can result in weight loss over time.

It's important to follow the dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider and to report any persistent or severe side effects.

While there are no specific foods that must be avoided while taking semaglutide, it's recommended to follow a balanced, healthy diet to maximize the effectiveness of the medication. Some patients may find that fatty or greasy foods can increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects, so it may be helpful to avoid these types of foods.

The dosing for compounded semaglutide can vary depending on your individual needs and the recommendations of your healthcare provider. Typically, treatment begins with a low dose to minimize side effects, and the dose is gradually increased over time. Your provider will give you specific instructions on how to take your medication.
