Semaglutide is a medication primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists). It works by mimicking the action of the naturally occurring GLP-1 hormone, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite.

Key effects of semaglutide include:

  • Increasing insulin secretion when blood sugar levels are elevated
  • Suppressing glucagon release, which helps reduce glucose production by the liver
  • Slowing gastric emptying, leading to a longer feeling of fullness and reducing appetite

Pricing

Unlike most weight loss programs out there prescribing injectable weight loss medications, your care will be managed by a board certified physician who has the experience and knowledge for safe prescribing and clinical decision making. Many other programs cut costs by using cheaper compounding pharmacies, use acetate/salts in their product, or use compounding agents from overseas which can have unintended side effects and pose safety issues. Dr. Mineo partners with a high quality compounding pharmacy that compounds your medication here in the United States with semaglutide base, never acetate/salts, to ensure patient safety and confidence in their medication.
