Check eligibility
What is semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. GLP-1 medications can affect appetite, digestion, and blood sugar regulation. For some eligible patients, semaglutide may be part of a medical weight-care plan when prescribed by a licensed provider and used with appropriate monitoring.
Semaglutide is not appropriate for everyone. A provider should review your health history, current medications, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, and other relevant medical factors before deciding whether treatment is appropriate.
What is compounded semaglutide?
Compounded semaglutide refers to semaglutide prepared by a compounding pharmacy or outsourcing facility under applicable law. Compounded medications may be considered in specific situations when a licensed provider determines that a compounded option is clinically appropriate for an individual patient.
Compounded medications are different from FDA-approved drugs. The FDA states that compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, which means the FDA does not verify their safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed.
