About Semaglutide (Injectable)
GLP-1 receptor agonist prescribed for medical weight management under licensed physician supervision. Compounded; not FDA-approved.
How it works
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the body's natural incretin hormone. It slows gastric emptying, reduces appetite at the hypothalamic level, and improves insulin sensitivity. Clinical trials show 15-20% body weight loss over 68 weeks.
Clinical evidence
The landmark STEP 1 trial (Wilding et al., NEJM 2021) randomized 1,961 adults with obesity to weekly subcutaneous semaglutide 2.4 mg vs placebo. After 68 weeks, the semaglutide arm achieved a mean weight loss of 14.9% of body weight compared to 2.4% on placebo. The SUSTAIN program demonstrated significant HbA1c reduction in type 2 diabetes, and the SELECT trial (2023) extended the evidence to cardiovascular outcomes — semaglutide reduced major adverse cardiovascular events by 20% in overweight or obese adults with established cardiovascular disease. Compounded semaglutide uses the identical active pharmaceutical ingredient prepared by FDA-registered 503A pharmacies.
