What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that curbs appetite and slows digestion, so you eat less without constant hunger. It’s the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, and it’s also offered as a compounded injection at many med spas — which makes the clinic’s sourcing and medical oversight worth checking.

A good fit if…

  • You qualify by BMI and want medical weight loss
  • You prefer a once-weekly injection
  • You want a provider monitoring your dose and side effects

Maybe not for you if…

  • You’re pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You have a history of medullary thyroid cancer or pancreatitis
  • You want fast results without any lifestyle change

Semaglutide questions, answered

Is compounded semaglutide the same as Ozempic?

The active molecule is the same, but compounded versions are made by compounding pharmacies and aren’t FDA-approved products. A trustworthy clinic is transparent about what it dispenses and where it’s sourced.

What are the side effects?

Nausea, constipation, and other GI symptoms are the most common, usually easing as your body adjusts and with slower dose increases. Serious effects are rare but real — which is why screening matters.

How long do I stay on it?

Often many months, and weight can return after stopping. A good program plans for that with lifestyle support and a taper conversation, not an indefinite auto-refill.
