Semaglutide questions
What is semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medicine. It acts like a hormone your gut already makes after meals, which helps you feel full sooner, slows how fast your stomach empties and helps manage blood sugar. It is given as a small injection under the skin.
Is semaglutide right for me?
Only a provider can decide that, after reviewing your health history, current medicines, labs and goals. At your first visit we talk through all of it before anything is prescribed.
GLP-1 medicines are not used for people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2, or during pregnancy. Tell us about any history of pancreatitis, gallbladder problems or kidney disease.
What side effects are common?
The most common are stomach-related: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and feeling full quickly. They are usually strongest when you start or when a dose goes up. We start low and adjust slowly, and you can call the office if side effects get in the way of eating or drinking.
How often will I see the provider?
Every month. Each check-in covers your weight, how you feel, side effects and your dose. Between visits you can log food, exercise and weight in your patient portal so your provider can see how things are going.
Do I still need to change how I eat and move?
Yes. The medicine works best alongside steady habits: enough protein, regular meals, water and movement you can keep up. Your provider sets food and exercise goals with you, and the portal helps you track them.
Compounded or brand-name — what's the difference?
Brand-name medicines such as Wegovy are FDA-approved. Compounded semaglutide is made by a licensed compounding pharmacy and is not FDA-approved. Our Pricing FAQ explains the costs and trade-offs of each.
Will insurance cover it?
Many plans don't cover GLP-1 medicines for weight loss. Call us before your first visit and we'll check your plan. If coverage is denied, our self-pay program is an option.
