What Is Compounded Semaglutide?

Compounded semaglutide is a formulation produced by FDA-registered compounding pharmacies. It provides similar results to branded versions at a more affordable price and offers flexibility in dosing, tailored specifically to each individual’s needs.

How Semaglutide Works for Weight Loss

Originally developed to improve glycemic control in adults with Type 2 Diabetes, semaglutide was later approved for weight management due to its ability to:

• Reduce appetite and hunger
• Increase feelings of fullness
• Decrease food cravings
• Delay gastric emptying

These effects lead to reduced calorie intake and subsequent weight loss.

Potential Risks of Semaglutide

While effective, semaglutide may cause side effects such as:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Abdominal pain
• Constipation
• Severe gastrointestinal reactions
• Hypoglycemia
• Pancreatitis
• Acute kidney injury

Consult your healthcare provider to ensure the proper balance between efficacy and safety.

How to Administer Injectable Compounded Semaglutide

Compounded semaglutide is administered as a weekly subcutaneous injection. Key guidelines:

• Rotate injection sites between the abdomen, upper arm, and thigh.
• Avoid injecting in the same spot each week.
• If using insulin, ensure injections are administered in separate areas and not mixed.
• If a dose is missed, administer it within five days or skip it entirely and continue with the next scheduled dose.

Weight Loss Dosage Chart for AHC

Starting Dose

• 0.25 mg weekly for the first month: This introductory dose allows your body to acclimate to the medication.

Gradual Increments

• 0.5 mg weekly for the second month: At this dose, the medication begins regulating blood sugar levels.

Personalized Approach to Weight Loss

Every individual’s response to semaglutide varies based on factors such as:

• Age
• Genetics
• Nutritional status
• Existing health conditions

A personalized dosage plan, developed in consultation with your healthcare provider, ensures optimal results while minimizing risks.

The Importance of Medical Supervision

Regular check-ins with your provider are essential for:

• Adjusting doses based on individual responses

Never adjust your dosage independently. Trust the expertise of your healthcare professional to guide your weight loss journey safely.
