What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Ozempic®, Wegovy®, & Rybelsus®—FDA-approved GLP-1 Agonists for the management of diabetes whose side effects include weight loss of up to 30%.  Forever29 now prescribes compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide at a lower cost.

 

 

How Much Does Semaglutide Cost?

Brand-name semaglutide medications such as Ozempic can cost $1,000 or more per month. At Forever29 we offer compounded generic semaglutide and tirzepatide for a fraction of the cost as a part of our weight loss membership. 

How Does Semaglutide Work?

Semaglutide mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which targets the area of the brain that regulates appetite. Semaglutide is a powerful appetite suppressant that also works by increasing the production of insulin, smf inhibits the production of glucagon, a hormone that increases blood sugar.

Semaglutide Mechanism of Action: 

  • Delays the emptying of the stomach, leading to a feeling of fullness
  • Slows the contraction of muscles that propel food in the gastrointestinal tract
  • Lowers blood sugars
  • Stimulates the secretion of insulin by the pancreas

Besides weight loss, you may have some side effects from semaglutide, such as nausea, which can be managed by adjusting the dosage.
