What is compounded semaglutide?

Semaglutide  is a type of medication called a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It was originally developed for managing type 2 diabetes, but has gained popularity for use in weight management. Compounded semaglutide refers to a customized version of semaglutide created by a specialized, compounding pharmacy.

The FDA allows the compounding of medications like semaglutide when there is a specific medical need that commercially available drugs do not meet. This might include cases where a patient requires specific dosage strengths that are unavailable through standard manufacturing. 

Compounding is permitted to ensure that individuals with unique medical needs can receive tailored treatment, provided that the compounding pharmacy follows stringent regulatory guidelines to ensure safety and quality.

How does compounded semaglutide work for weight loss?

Semaglutide, the active ingredient in compounded and branded semaglutide, mimics a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which your body naturally uses to regulate blood sugar and appetite. Imitating this hormone helps your system manage glucose more effectively and reduces your urge to overeat. 

For weight loss in particular, semaglutide helps to slow down stomach emptying, leading to a prolonged feeling of fullness. It also influences your brain’s appetite control center so you have less appetite.

How is it different from ‘regular’ semaglutide?

Compounded semaglutide differs from branded, FDA-approved versions, like Wegovy and Ozempic, in several ways. 

  • Branded semaglutide is FDA-approved and manufactured by Novo Nordisk using a consistent formula. Compounded semaglutide medications are made by individual pharmacies and can include different ingredients depending on the pharmacy. 
  • Ozempic and Wegovy have gone through rigorous testing and consistent manufacturing processes for FDA approval, while compounded versions have not and may vary between pharmacies and batches. 
  • Compounded semaglutide is typically more budget-friendly and more readily available than branded semaglutide. 
  • The medication delivery method may differ, with branded medication coming in pre-filled pens while compounded versions might use different delivery systems or vials.

Mobile Care Health recognizes these differences and takes extra steps to ensure your safety. We partner only with reputable pharmacies and closely monitor your progress to provide the highest quality care. In addition, we offer compounded semaglutide with B12 or BPC-157 to help your body better adapt to the medication. Learn more about our affordable compounded semaglutide options here.
