Frequently Asked Questions
- How much weight can I realistically lose with semaglutide?
- Clinical trials (STEP program) demonstrate average weight loss of 15–20% of total body weight over 68 weeks. Individual results vary based on starting weight, dose, adherence, and lifestyle factors, but semaglutide consistently outperforms all previous prescription weight loss medications in head-to-head comparisons.
- What are the most common side effects of semaglutide?
- The most common side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation — especially during dose escalation. These typically diminish as the body adjusts to the medication. Starting on a low dose and gradually increasing minimizes these effects. Serious side effects are rare but include pancreatitis and thyroid concerns.
- Is semaglutide an injection or a pill?
- Semaglutide is primarily available as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection using a small, thin needle in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. An oral form (Rybelsus) also exists but requires specific dosing conditions and is less commonly prescribed for weight loss. Our compounded injectable semaglutide follows the same injection protocol as Ozempic and Wegovy.
