Compounded Semaglutide* is a glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue originally used for patients with diabetes. Compounded Semaglutide* has been around since 2017 and was approved for treating diabetes. It has now been released as a weight loss medication. Semaglutide* helps control appetite and reduce blood sugar spikes. Semaglutide is a once a week tiny injection administered at home.
Compounded Semaglutide* injection is in a class of medications called incretin mimetics. It works by helping the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. For example, when you eat carbohydrates, the pancreas will release the correct amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high which helps avoid large spikes. Insulin helps move sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy. Semaglutide slows gastric emptying which allows food to stay in the stomach longer, allowing you to stay full for longer periods of time. Semaglutide also works to reduce appetite and control over-eating.
