Semaglutide is an FDA-approved GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist — the same class of medication as Ozempic® and Wegovy®. It works by mimicking a natural gut hormone that signals to your brain that you are full, reduces appetite, slows the rate at which your stomach empties, and regulates blood sugar levels.

Unlike crash diets or over-the-counter supplements, semaglutide treats weight gain at the hormonal and metabolic level — which is why clinical results are so dramatically different from diet and exercise alone.

Clinical trial results for semaglutide:

- Average weight loss of **15–20% of total body weight**

- Significant reductions in waist circumference

- Improvements in blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol

- Sustained results with ongoing use

Semaglutide vs. Ozempic vs. Wegovy, What's the Difference?

You may have heard of Ozempic® and Wegovy® ,both are brand-name versions of semaglutide. Here's how they compare to what we offer:

| Approved use | Type 2 diabetes | Chronic weight management | Physician-supervised weight loss |

| Availability | Often back-ordered | Often back-ordered | Available now |

| Typical Cost | $800–$1,400/month without insurance | $1,300–$1,600/month without insurance | 

Our compounded semaglutide contains the same active ingredient, prescribed and monitored by our physicians, at a fraction of the brand-name cost and it's available now without the supply shortages that affect commercial versions.

How Our Semaglutide Program Works

Step 1: Consultation

Meet with our medical team (in person or virtually) to review your health history, goals, and whether semaglutide is the right fit for you.

Step 2: Personalized Prescription

Your physician designs a customized dosing schedule — starting low and gradually increasing to minimize side effects and maximize results.

Step 3: Medication Delivered to You

You will most likely pick up your medication at our office in Wausau, or we can ship your medication directly to your home anywhere in Wisconsin

Step 4: Ongoing Medical Monitoring

Regular check-ins with our team to track your progress, adjust dosing, and address any concerns. You're never doing this alone.

What to Expect on Semaglutide?

Most patients begin noticing reduced appetite and cravings within the first 1–2 weeks.  Significant weight loss typically becomes visible within 4–8 weeks, with the greatest results occurring over the first 6–12 months of treatment.

Typical patient experience:

- Week 1–4: Appetite noticeably reduced; less cravings for high-calorie foods

- Month 2–3: 5–10 lbs lost for most patients; more energy

- Month 4–6: Significant body composition changes; clothes fitting differently

- Month 6–12: Average total loss of 15–20% of starting body weight

Common Side Effects of Semaglutide

Semaglutide is well-tolerated by most patients. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal and usually temporary:

- Nausea (most common, especially in first weeks)

- Mild constipation or diarrhea

- Reduced appetite (this is also the intended effect!)

- Occasional fatigue during dose increases

Our physicians use a gradual dose-escalation protocol if needed, specifically designed to minimize these effects. Most patients report that side effects diminish significantly after the first month, if any.

Yes, semaglutide is the active ingredient in both Ozempic® and Wegovy®. Our compounded semaglutide contains the same molecule, prescribed by our physicians and customized for your specific needs at a much lower cost.

 Most patients use semaglutide for 6–24 months to achieve and stabilize their goal weight. Some patients choose to continue long-term for weight maintenance. Our team will work with you on a transition plan when the time is right.
