What Is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist originally developed for type 2 diabetes that has become the most prescribed weight loss medication in history. Clinic-administered semaglutide (compounded from 503A/503B pharmacies) offers significant advantages over commercial Ozempic/Wegovy in terms of cost, customization, and availability.
