Semaglutide acts on GLP-1 receptors involved in appetite and food intake. Unlike FDA-approved products, compounded versions are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality.
Your licensed provider decides whether this option fits your health history and explains the appropriate form, individual instructions, monitoring and follow-up.
A clinician can explain why a compounded formulation is being considered and discuss possible digestive side effects, follow-up and alternatives. Individual responses vary.
Compounded semaglutide may be considered when a licensed clinician determines that prescription weight-management treatment and a compounded preparation are appropriate based on the patient's health history, current medications, weight-related factors and treatment goals.
Compounded Semaglutide can cause gastrointestinal side effects and requires clinical review of relevant warnings, precautions, health history and current medications. Discuss pregnancy or pregnancy plans and any history of pancreatic, gallbladder or significant gastrointestinal concerns with your treating clinician. Because semaglutide can delay gastric emptying, oral medications that may require monitoring should also be reviewed.
