Semaglutide is a medication that mimics a hormone in your body called GLP-1. It helps regulate appetite and food intake, leading to reduced hunger and calorie consumption. This can result in significant weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle.

Yes, semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication for weight loss. It has been extensively studied and is considered safe when used as directed. However, like any medication, it may have side effects, which our healthcare providers will discuss with you.

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are both medications used for weight loss, but they work in slightly different ways. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which helps regulate appetite and food intake. Tirzepatide, on the other hand, is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, which may offer additional benefits in controlling blood sugar levels and weight loss. If you are unsure of which medication is best for you, your healthcare provider can help determine which medication is best suited for your needs.

Common side effects of semaglutide include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and constipation. These side effects are usually mild and tend to decrease over time. For a larger list of side effects, please visit the following link here.

Compounded medication refers to custom-made medications prepared by a pharmacist according to a doctor's prescription. These medications are tailored to meet the specific needs of an individual patient, which can include combining multiple medications into a single dose or altering the form of the medication for easier administration. At June Wellness, we ensure that all compounded medications meet the highest standards of quality and safety.

The semaglutide shots are administered weekly via a subcutaneous injection. Our healthcare providers will show you how to self-administer the injections, and we offer virtual support to ensure you feel comfortable with the process.
