The benefits of timely treatment with semaglutide are immense for qualifying patients. Semaglutide compounded at our Renew Medical HRT Clinic can help patients lose substantial weight and reduce obesity-related health risks.
Semaglutide is an injectable weight loss medication that works similarly to naturally occurring hormones called GLP-1s that regulate appetite and food intake. Specifically, semaglutide:
Over a 20-week treatment period, most patients experience significant appetite suppression and weight loss of 10-15% of total body weight.
Semaglutide compounded formulations allow customized dosing and accessibility for patients who do not meet criteria for branded semaglutide products. Treatment begins with a low dose which is gradually increased over 8-12 weeks. Patients then continue with maintenance dosing until optimal weight loss is achieved.
Regular injections combined with lifestyle modifications gives patients the best chance for long-term weight management success.
Semaglutide as a weight loss treatment is appropriate for patients who meet the following requirements:
Semaglutide works very well for most motivated patients who meet the BMI and health criteria. Those with unmanaged diabetes or certain gastrointestinal issues may require clearance from a specialist first.
Commitment to injections, check-ins, and lifestyle changes gives patients their best chance for long-term success managing obesity and related health risks.
Semaglutide compounded therapy begins with a structured 8-12 week dose escalation protocol:
After the dose escalation phase, patients continue with the maintenance dosage that provides effective appetite suppression and weight loss with good tolerability.
Semaglutide requires once weekly injection just under the skin using small needles - similar to insulin use. Many patients find the home self-injections easy to handle. For any questions or concerns, our clinicians provide complete training and support.

Clinical studies found most patients lose 10-15% of total body weight over a 20-week treatment period. Some lose even more weight by continuing therapy beyond 20 weeks as needed to reach their goals.
It's best not to miss weekly injections which ensure consistent dosing for maximum results. If you do miss or delay a dose, administer it as soon as possible, staying on your regular once weekly schedule. Never double up injections.
Most patients notice appetite suppression within 1-2 weeks once reaching an effective dosage during the dose escalation phase. However maximum weight loss results are seen 12 weeks and beyond as the medication accumulates in the body.
Gastrointestinal issues like nausea, vomiting or diarrhea are possible but usually mild. Staying hydrated and slowly increasing dosing reduces likelihood. Occasionally patients experience headaches, fatigue, dizziness or injection site irritation.
