Healthy Weight Loss With Semaglutide

Weight loss is adopting a healthier lifestyle that enhances your overall well-being and it involves reducing your total body mass to improve fitness, health, and appearance. This can be achieved through various methods, including dietary changes, increased physical activity, and medications designed to target weight loss mechanisms.

Bare Compounding Pharmacy offers a safe solution to help with weight loss called Semaglutide, similar to Rybelsus® and Ozempic®. When combined with minimal & routine exercise, Semaglutide provides a healthier way to lose weight for those who want an effective treatment that is as minimally intrusive on their lives as possible. Contact us to learn more about Semaglutide, and how it can help with your weight-loss journey.

Semaglutide mimics the action of GLP-1, a hormone that increases insulin secretion, inhibits glucagon release, slows gastric emptying, and enhances satiety. The medication promotes weight loss through several mechanisms:

  • Appetite Suppression: Semaglutide acts on GLP-1 receptors in the brain, reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness, leading to lower food intake.
  • Slowed Gastric Emptying: It delays the emptying of stomach contents into the small intestine, prolonging fullness after eating.
  • Reduced Caloric Intake: Its effects on appetite and gastric emptying typically result in fewer calories consumed.
  • Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Semaglutide enhances insulin sensitivity, contributing to better metabolism and nutrient utilization.

Whether you are brand new to GLP-1 RA's or have previously used semaglutide or tirzepatide injections, our sublingual semaglutide could be a great fit for you!

As of October 3, 2024, the FDA has officially removed tirzepatide from its drug shortage list, subsequently prohibiting compounded versions of the drug from being sold.

Bare Compounding's sublingual semaglutide offers a valuable alternative for patients who have been using compounded tirzepatide injections, but can no longer access them due to the removal of tirzepatide from the FDA's shortage list. As tirzepatide remains difficult to obtain in its brand-name forms (ZepBound® and Mounjaro®), many patients are left without viable treatment options. Semaglutide, another GLP-1 receptor agonist like tirzepatide, can similarly aid in weight management and blood sugar control, making it a suitable substitute for those seeking continued treatment. The sublingual delivery method also provides a convenient and non-invasive option, bypassing the need for injections, which may be preferable for patients who are needle-averse or looking for more flexibility in their treatment regimen.

Bare Compounding is committed to ensuring our patients can maintain their progress in chronic weight management despite the unavailability of both brand-name and compounded tirzepatide injections.

How To Administer Compounded Sublingual (SL) Semaglutide

SL semaglutide is a liquid formulation that patients administer daily by holding the medication under the tongue for optimal absorption. Instead of waiting for a weekly injection, you simply take 5-10 minutes each day to allow the medication to be absorbed through the mucosal tissues in your mouth. Here's some tips for better absorption:

  • Don't swallow your medication until at least 5 minutes have passed.
  • Make sure not to eat or drink anything for at least an hour after taking your medication to increase absorption.
  • Try holding the medication under your tongue while taking your morning shower for convenience!

Semaglutide is a promising option for individuals struggling with obesity, especially when lifestyle modifications have been insufficient.

Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is a wise goal with significant health benefits. However, weight loss can occur in various ways, both healthy and unhealthy. The focus should be less on the scale and more on strategic body composition changes. Current research indicates that healthy weight loss should involve a structured, individualized diet and exercise program, incorporating both aerobic and strength training, and ensuring sufficient or higher daily protein intake than the age- and gender-specific IOM RDAs.

Programs that combine exercise and nutrition support healthy muscle mass, muscle strength, and bone mineral density, promoting long-term mobility, strength, wellness, and survival.

While Semaglutide is generally well-tolerated, common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain, which usually decrease over time. Serious but rare side effects can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, and kidney injury.
