Leucine is included to help support muscle health, and pyridoxine (vitamin B6) may help reduce nausea, which can sometimes occur.

Results vary for each person and depend on your dose, diet, and exercise habits.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain.

Semaglutide can be injected at any time of day that works best for you. Try to be consistent with the same day of the week and time to help you remember your dose.

Inject in the abdomen, upper arm, or thigh, and rotate sites each time.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember—unless it’s almost time for your next scheduled dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular weekly schedule.

Store the medication in the refrigerator. Use within 60 days from the date of compounding or within 28 days after the vial is first punctured.

Used syringes should be placed in a sharps container. Check with your town for proper disposal
once the container is full. If you’d like to order a sharps container, please let us know

It’s easy to prescribe GLP-1 medications with Town & Country Compounding

Semaglutide

Semaglutide primarily stimulates the GLP-1 receptor, leading to increased insulin release, reduced glucagon secretion, slowed gastric emptying, and increased feelings of fullness, and it is used to improve blood sugar control and, in higher doses, for weight management.

*Activation of the GLP-1 receptor leads to several potentially beneficial effects with semaglutide

  • Increased insulin release
  • Reduced glucagon secretion
  • Slowed gastric emptying and increased feelings of fullness
  • Decreased hunger through satiety pathways
  • Up-modulates fat utilization
  • Reduced ghrelin levels in the stomach/gut
