Weight Loss

Due to the current FDA shortage of commercial Semaglutide (Ozempic® & Wegovy®) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro® & Zepbound®), compounding pharmacies are legally authorized to provide these medications as a direct copy in compounded form. This capability plays a crucial role in ensuring continued access to these vital medications, significantly enhancing patient care and support.

How Does It Work?

  • Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that works by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which regulates appetite and food intake. It helps to:

    • Increase insulin secretion

    • Decrease glucagon levels

    • Slow gastric emptying

    • Reduce appetite

    These combined effects lead to significant weight loss when used as part of a comprehensive weight management plan.
