Compounded semaglutide is a customized version of the FDA-approved medication semaglutide, which is typically used for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. When compounded, semaglutide is prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy according to a healthcare provider’s specific prescription. It works by mimicking the effects of a naturally occurring hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which helps to regulate blood sugar levels and reduce appetite. It belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, which mimic the effects of the natural hormone GLP-1 in the body. When used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise, semaglutide has been shown to promote weight loss and improve metabolic health.
In terms of weight management, semaglutide has been shown to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, which can lead to decreased food intake and weight loss. The medication is typically used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise program to achieve the best results.

Semaglutide injection may increase the risk that you will develop tumors of the thyroid gland, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC; a type of thyroid cancer). Laboratory animals who were given semaglutide developed tumors, but it is not known if this medication increases the risk of tumors in humans. Tell your doctor if you or anyone in your family has or has ever had MTC or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2; condition that causes tumors in more than one gland in the body). If so, your doctor will probably tell you not to use semaglutide injection. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately: a lump or swelling in the neck; hoarseness; difficulty swallowing; or shortness of breath.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor may order certain tests to check your body's response to semaglutide injection.
Your doctor or pharmacist will give you the manufacturer's patient information sheet (Medication Guide) when you begin treatment with semaglutide injection and each time you refill your prescription. Read the information carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. You can also visit the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website (http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/ucm085729.htm) or the manufacturer's website to obtain the Medication Guide.
