Precision Semaglutide GLP-1

Semaglutide is a modified molecule our bodies make, called a GLP-1 analog. It works by increasing insulin production and lowering glucagon secretion as well as targeting areas in the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. A small change in the molecule allows the drug to last weeks in our bodies rather than the natural version our bodies make, which lasts minutes.

Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) is added to support nutrient repletion and may help mitigate nausea-related side effects. Glycine is added to help inhibit the deterioration of protein tissue that forms muscles. Studies show that administering glycine during calorie restriction may be beneficial for preserving muscle mass and loss of fat tissue.

If prescribed, your clinician starts you on a low dose and titrates upward over several weeks so your body adjusts gradually rather than all at once.

Reported by patients on a clinician-supervised semaglutide program:

• Reduced appetite and noticeably fewer food cravings
• Steady, sustained weight loss rather than sharp swings
• Improved blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity
• B12 support for energy while you are in a calorie deficit
• Once-weekly dosing that fits around your routine

Semaglutide is not right for everyone. Review these with your clinician:

• Semaglutide is not insulin and should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), or together with other GLP-1 medications.
• Because it can slow stomach emptying, tell your healthcare provider before any surgery or procedure involving anesthesia or sedation.
• Semaglutide should be used with caution in patients with a history of diabetic retinopathy.
• Do not use if you or a family member has had medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2.
• Not for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
• Tell your clinician about any history of pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, or severe gastrointestinal conditions.
• Seek medical attention for severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction.

Compounded medications are prescribed at a licensed provider's discretion following a medical evaluation. They are not FDA-approved for weight loss and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety or efficacy.
