When it comes to achieving significant, lasting weight loss results, compounded semaglutide offers a cost-effective and accessible option. This treatment is ideal for individuals seeking to control their appetite, regulate blood sugar, and support weight loss. By choosing a compounded version of semaglutide, patients gain access to an affordable alternative that remains available even when brand-name medications like Wegovy and Ozempic are in short supply.
What Is Compounded Semaglutide?
Compounded semaglutide is a version of the medication prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies to address challenges such as high costs or shortages of brand-name alternatives. This option provides a more accessible solution for individuals seeking weight loss support.
Compounded medications are custom formulations created to meet specific needs when standard options are unavailable or unsuitable. These formulations may include adjustments, such as the addition of vitamin B6 to help minimize side effects like nausea.
While semaglutide is an FDA-approved active ingredient in certain medications, compounded semaglutide itself is not reviewed or approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety or efficacy. However, these medications are prepared in facilities regulated by state boards of pharmacy and other authorities to ensure quality and safety.
How Does It Work?
Semaglutide is part of a class of medications that mimic a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1. This hormone plays a key role in regulating appetite and blood sugar levels. By activating GLP-1 receptors, semaglutide helps reduce feelings of hunger, leading to fewer cravings and smaller meal portions, all while helping to stabilize blood sugar.
When used consistently alongside lifestyle changes like healthy eating and regular physical activity, compounded semaglutide can support significant, sustainable weight loss. Many patients experience noticeable changes within the first few weeks, with gradual weight loss continuing over the course of treatment.
Potential Side Effects
Like any medication, compounded semaglutide may cause side effects, although many patients find them to be mild and temporary. The most common side effects include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal discomfort
These side effects often lessen as your body adjusts to the treatment. It’s also important to stay hydrated and follow the dietary recommendations provided by your healthcare team to help minimize discomfort.
If you experience any severe reactions or have concerns, our team is available for guidance and support. Regular check-ins with your provider will help ensure your treatment is both safe and effective.
