Discover the Power of Compounded Semaglutide: A Breakthrough in Diabetes and Weight Management
At Precision Health and Weight Loss Center, we are commited to providing cutting-edge solutions for weight management. We are excited to introduce Semaglutide, a revolutionary medication that offers new possibilities for individuals struggling with their weight.
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is an innovative medication that belongs to the class of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). It is a synthetic version of a naturally occuring hormone called GLP-1 that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite.
How does it work?
Semaglutide works by activating GLP-1 receptors in the pancreas, stimulating the release of insulin and reducing the production of glucagon. This leads to improved blood sugar control and helps to prevent spikes in glucose levels after meals. Additionally, Semaglutide slows down the emptying of the stomach, promoting a feeling of fullness and reducing appetite.
Benefits of Semaglutide:
1. Effective Blood Sugar Management: Clinical trials have demonstrated that Semaglutide effectively reduces HbA1c levels (a measure of average blood glucose over time), leading to better glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
2. Weight Loss Support: Semaglutide has shown remarkable weight loss effects in clinical studies. Patients treated with Semaglutide experienced significant reductions in body weight compared to those on other diabetes medications or placebo.
3. Cardiovascular Benefits: In addition to its glucose-lowering and weight loss effects, Semaglutide has shown cardiovascular benefits by reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events. This makes it a valuable option for individuals with diabetes at risk for heart disease.
4. Convenient Administration: Semaglutide is administered once a week via a subcutaneous injection, offering a convenient dosing schedule for patients. This can improve treatment adherence and simplify diabetes and weight management.
Is Semaglutide right for you?
Semaglutide may be suitable for individuals with type 2 diabetes who struggle to achieve optimal blood sugar control and for people wanting better help with weight management. It is important to consult with our healthcare professionals at Precision Health and Weight Loss Center, and this is why consults are included when you schedule to get started with Semaglutide. Our team will assess your medical history, current medications, and individual needs to create a personalized treatment plan.
Safety and Side Effects:

Semaglutide mimics the effect of "feeling full" resulting in a decreased caloric intake. Semaglutide will delay gastric emptying by reducing glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. The delay in gastric emptying can reduce appetite, improve control of eating, and reduce food cravings.
Currently, we are only offering semaglutide as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection. It may be available as an oral agent in the future, but we haven’t seen good studies on the oral form for weight loss. While some of you may be afraid of injections, these are actually quite straightforward injections with a VERY SMALL needle into the abdominal area (like insulin injections). There are big advantages to the once-weekly dosing - you don’t have to remember your medications and the semaglutide is working 24/7 suppressing your appetite without the stimulant effects of typical weight loss medication. The dosing schedule is the following: 0.25 mg/week for weeks 1-4; 0.5 mg/week for weeks 5-8; 1.0 mg/week for weeks 9-12; 1.7 mg/week for weeks 13-16; and 2.4 mg/week for subsequent weeks.
Most common side effects are: nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, stomach (abdomen) pain, headache, tiredness (fatigue), upset stomach, dizziness, feeling bloated, belching, gas, stomach flu, and heartburn. Note that most of these are manageable by proper dosing and some overlap with the intended effect of "feeling full".
There are rare situations where semaglutide is contraindicated. Patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or in patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
Semaglutide is not covered by most Medicare and insurance plans, but manufacturer and pharmacy coupons can help offset the cost. It currently is very expensive ($1300-1800 a month) but not at Precision Health.
