How it works
What it is and how it works
The science
Semaglutide mimics GLP-1, a hormone your gut releases after eating. It acts on GLP-1 receptors to support glucose-dependent insulin release and lower glucagon, slows how quickly your stomach empties, and signals areas of the brain involved in appetite and fullness. These effects can reduce appetite and food intake. Its structure gives it a long duration, which is why it is dosed once weekly. Individual results vary.
Taking it
Weekly subcutaneous injection
Inject under the skin (subcutaneously) once a week, on the same day each week, in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, rotating sites. Providers typically start at a low dose and increase gradually to help limit nausea. Follow the exact dose, schedule, and storage instructions provided with your medication, and never change your dose without talking to your provider.
Common side effects
Most side effects are mild and tend to ease as your body adjusts. This isn’t a complete list. Your provider reviews the full picture with you and what to watch for.
- Nausea, especially when starting or increasing the dose
- Vomiting and diarrhea
- Constipation
- Abdominal pain
- Decreased appetite
- Injection-site reactions
- Fatigue or burping
- Rarely: pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, or serious allergic reaction
Important safety information
In rodent studies, semaglutide caused thyroid C-cell tumors; it is not known whether semaglutide causes such tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in humans. Do not use if you or a family member have had MTC or if you have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Watch for a neck mass, trouble swallowing, hoarseness, or shortness of breath.
Important Safety Information. This is compounded semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist; compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and are not evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality. It is not Ozempic or Wegovy, which are separate FDA-approved products. Semaglutide may cause serious side effects including pancreatitis (severe, persistent abdominal pain that may spread to the back, with or without vomiting), gallbladder problems, low blood sugar (especially with insulin or sulfonylureas), kidney problems from dehydration, vision changes, severe allergic reactions, and a possible increased risk of depression or thoughts of self-harm. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite. Do not use if pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Tell your provider about all your medical conditions and medications. Seek emergency care for severe or persistent abdominal pain, signs of a serious allergic reaction, or symptoms of severe low blood sugar. A licensed provider decides whether this medication is clinically appropriate for you; a consultation does not guarantee a prescription. Individual results vary.
