Semaglutide
Compounded Semaglutide* with L-Carnitine
2.65 mg | 100 mg per mL
Semaglutide is a medication that works by mimicking a naturally occurring appetite hormone called glucagon like peptide 1 (GLP-1), which effectively signals to the brain that you are full, leading to a sustained feeling of satiety and helping with significant weight loss while also managing blood sugar levels. It is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management in patients who are obese or overweight as part of a comprehensive program including personalized nutrition recommendations and lifestyle modifications.
*Same active ingredient found in Ozempic and Wegovy

Important Notes
-Before Titrating Doses Greater Than 30 Units: Please make an appointment to stop by the office for a quick body composition analysis. This will help in getting essential measurements (e.g., fat mass, muscle mass, body water, etc.) for evaluating overall health and wellness, identifying changes in body composition, tracking progress, validating the program, and delivering actionable advice based on trustworthy data. -Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember within 4 days. If more than 4 days have passed, do not increase the dose; instead, administer the last dose. -Routine Follow-Up: Remember the importance of routine follow-up appointments to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
