Compounded Semaglutide

Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1 RAs. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone, released in the gut in response to eating.

One role of GLP-1 is to prompt the body to produce more insulin, which reduces blood sugar (glucose). For that reason, health care providers have used semaglutide for more than 15 years to treat Type 2 diabetes.

But GLP-1 in higher amounts also interacts with the parts of the brain that suppress your appetite and signal you to feel full. When used in conjunction with diet and exercise, it can cause significant weight loss — and a reduced risk of cancer, diabetes and heart disease — in people who are obese or overweight.

At Enhance.MD, you will undergo multiple consultations with a medical provider at crucial junctures to identify the safest and most effective medication for you. Throughout these consultations, your provider will closely monitor your response to ensure that the medication is effectively addressing your needs. Many side effects can be easily managed and only in rare instances does treatment need to be stopped.

During your video consultation with your Enhance.md provider, you will thoroughly review all medical information and discuss your eligibility for a personalized semaglutide treatment plan.
