Common Questions
Is semaglutide the same as Ozempic or Wegovy?
Yes — semaglutide is the active ingredient in both Ozempic and Wegovy. We offer both brand-name and compounded semaglutide options depending on your eligibility and insurance cover.
How long will I need to take semaglutide?
Treatment duration varies by patient. Many people use semaglutide for 6–12 months to reach their goal weight, then work with their physician on a maintenance plan.
What are the side effects?
The most common side effects are nausea, mild digestive discomfort, and reduced appetite — most of which subside as your body adjusts. Your physician will guide you through managing any symptoms.
