What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy, Ozempic, and Rybelsus, is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It curbs hunger, stabilizes blood sugar levels, and lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. When combined with diet and exercise, it can result in significant weight loss.

How Does Semaglutide Work?

Semaglutide mimics the action of GLP-1, a hormone produced in the gut. It targets brain areas that regulate hunger and appetite, and it slows stomach emptying. Semaglutide boosts insulin release to better manage blood sugar.

Benefits of Semaglutide

Semaglutide treats type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity. Losing excess weight and keeping blood sugar levels in check can improve your heart, blood vessels, and metabolic health. A healthy body composition can extend your health span.

Why might you need Semaglutide?

Semaglutide helps people achieve a healthier body weight and better blood sugar control if they meet BMI treatment criteria.

How to use Semaglutide

Compounded semaglutide is packaged in vials and must be reconstituted according to the provided instructions. Weekly injections of gradually increasing dosages are self-administered into your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.

This test detects endotoxins (remnants of bacterial cell walls that can cause serious health problems) in pharmaceutical products. It helps ensure that medications are not contaminated by bacteria. Endotoxin limits are set based on how the medication is administered.
This test measures the percent hydrogen (pH) or acidity or alkalinity of a product. The pH can affect the medication’s stability, solubility, and potency. To ensure the validity of the endotoxin test, the pH must be kept in a specified range.
This test confirms that all sterile compounded medications are free from microbial contamination, including bacteria and fungi. Sterility testing reduces the risk of infections from taking medications.
This test measures the strength or the concentration of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) over time. It can be used in conjunction with stability testing to ensure that the medication will retain its potency until its beyond-use date.

Frequently Asked Questions about Semaglutide

Semaglutide helps people with obesity shed excess pounds. Semaglutide acts as an incretin mimetic, which means that it helps the pancreas release insulin when blood sugars are too high. It also slows stomach emptying and intestinal motility, so you feel full longer. In addition, semaglutide helps people resist food cravings.
In clinical trials, the group that took semaglutide consistently lost more weight than the group taking a placebo. The average weight loss was 35 pounds, or 15% of their body weight. Overall, the medication was well-tolerated and effective.

Semaglutide is not right for everyone. People with the following conditions should not take semaglutide:

  • Taking another GLP-1 receptor agonist

  • History of pancreatitis
  • Known hypersensitivity to semaglutide or any of the injection components
  • Pregnancy

Tell your doctor if you have had:

Yes, a prescription is needed to get semaglutide. Compounded semaglutide and brand names Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy all require prescriptions. Semaglutide is not right for everyone. A medical professional will evaluate your past medical history and risk factors for side effects before prescribing semaglutide.

Participants in clinical trials had stalled weight loss around week 60 and rebound weight gain after they stopped semaglutide.

Therefore, it is important to make semaglutide part of a weight maintenance plan, along with a low-calorie diet and a solid exercise plan. Develop good diet and exercise habits while taking semaglutide to make it easier to keep the weight off after you stop taking it.

Your doctor will discuss with you how long to take semaglutide and whether you will need to gradually wean off it.
