WARNING

Compounded medications are not FDA-approved or evaluated for safety or efficacy but include active ingredients sourced from FDA-registered facilities. If you notice any changes in the appearance, color, or consistency of the medication, please contact your prescriber immediately before using it.

Do not use this medication if you are or suspect you may be allergic to any of the ingredients in the compounded product. Other ingredients include:

• Disodium phosphate dihydrate
• Sodium chloride
• Benzyl alcohol
• Hydrochloric acid
• Sodium hydroxide

Please contact your doctor ASAP and seek in-person care immediately if a side effect becomes problematic or you experience:

• Severe nausea and/or vomiting resulting in dehydration: It is important to stay well hydrated and drink plenty of fluids while on this medication.
• Kidney problems/kidney failure: Vomiting, nausea, diarrhea can cause dehydration and kidney issues and make kidney problems worse in individuals who have pre-existing kidney conditions; may sometimes lead to the need for hemodialysis.
• Thyroid C-Cell Tumor: Trouble swallowing, hoarseness, a lump or swelling in your neck, or shortness of breath (see “Black Box Warning”).
• Pancreatitis: Severe pain in your abdomen or back that will not go away.
• Acute gallbladder disease: Pain in the middle or right upper stomach, fever, white parts of your eyes turn yellow or skin turns yellow, nausea/vomiting. If gallstones or inflammation of the gallbladder is suspected further studies are needed.
• Hepatitis, elevated liver enzymes, or jaundice.
• Diabetic retinopathy problems: Changes in vision in those with type 2 diabetes, particularly vision problems may worsen in those with a history of diabetic retinopathy.
• Severe gastrointestinal disease: May cause gastrointestinal disease; do not use if you have a history of severe gastrointestinal disease.
• Signs of low blood sugar (for example, dizziness, weakness, shakiness, jitteriness, headache, anxiety/mood changes, rapid heartbeat, confusion, slurred speech, sweating, or lightheadedness): While this is rare with semaglutide, if it occurs, please seek in-person care immediately. If you have these symptoms, try having liquid or food containing sugar (around 15-20 grams)—drink juice or regular soda, or eat some hard candies right away, as this will help raise your blood sugar quickly. If taken with insulin or an insulin secretagogue (ie sulfonylureas), it is best to talk to your health care provider about possibly lowering the dose of these medications to lower the risk of hypoglycemia.
• If you are going under general anesthesia or deep sedation, GLP-1s may make you accidentally breathe food or liquid into your lungs (pulmonary aspiration). Tell the providers who will be performing the procedure that you’re taking a GLP-1 so they can give you instructions to avoid this.
• Increasing heart rate.
• Worsening depression, behavior changes, or suicidality.
• Never reuse or share needles, syringes, or vials.

SIDE EFFECTS

Many people experience no side effects while taking semaglutide. Some of the most common or potential side effects include:

• Nausea
• Constipation
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Abdominal pain
• Headache
• Indigestion
• Injection site reactions
• Dizziness
• Back pain
• Increased lipase or amylase
• Altered taste
• Nasopharyngitis (common cold)
• Passing gas
• Bloating
• Belching
• Gastroenteritis
• Decreased appetite
• Fatigue
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease
• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in those with type 2 diabetes
• Upset stomach

These symptoms often subside as your body adjusts to the medications. Please notify your provider if side effects persist. For a complete list of side effects, review the medication packaging inserts.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

As with other medications, semaglutide can interact with alcohol and certain prescription and non-prescription medications and herbal products. The risk of hypoglycemia is increased when combined with other drugs that may lower blood sugar, such as insulin or insulin secretagogues such as sulfonylureas. Semaglutide delays gastric emptying and may impact the absorption of oral medications. If you are on thyroid hormone medication, prior to starting semaglutide, please review the timing of taking your thyroid hormone medication with the doctor who prescribes it as it may need to be adjusted. The drug levels of medications with narrow therapeutic windows (i.e., warfarin) should be monitored closely while on semaglutide. Talk to your health care provider if you are taking levothyroxine before taking semaglutide.

Please consult the pharmaceutical packaging for a full list of side effects, warnings, interactions and additional information.

To report suspected adverse reactions to compounded semaglutide, contact the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

In case of emergencies, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

• Kidney problems/kidney failure: vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea can cause dehydration and kidney issues and make kidney problems worse in individuals who have pre-existing kidney conditions; it may sometimes lead to the need for hemodialysis.
• Severe stomach problems, including abdominal bloating or pain, acid reflux, a feeling of fullness after eating just a few bites of food, nausea, and vomiting, including vomiting undigested food eaten a few hours earlier. This may be a symptom of gastroparesis. Also tell your health care provider if you have stomach problems that will not go away.
• An inability to pass gas or stool is a symptom of possible bowel obstruction. Other symptoms may include severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
• Thyroid C-cell tumor: Trouble swallowing, hoarseness, a lump or swelling in your neck, or shortness of breath (see black box warning below).
• Pancreatitis: Severe pain in your abdomen or back that will not go away.
• Acute gallbladder disease: Pain in the middle or right upper stomach, fever, white parts of your eyes or skin turning yellow or skin turns yellow, nausea/vomiting. If gallstones or inflammation of the gallbladder are suspected, further studies are needed.
• Hepatitis, elevated liver enzymes/jaundice.
• Diabetic retinopathy problems: Changes in vision in those with Type 2 diabetes, particularly vision problems, may worsen in those with a history of diabetic retinopathy.

Do not use this medication if you are or suspect you may be allergic to any of the ingredients in the compounded product. Other ingredients include: 

• vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine HCL), 10 mg per tablet 
• sucralose

Please contact your doctor ASAP and seek in-person care immediately if a side effect becomes problematic or you experience any of the following:

• Severe nausea and/or vomiting resulting in dehydration: It is important to stay well hydrated and drink plenty of fluids while on this medication. Dehydration may lead to low blood pressure or kidney problems. 
• Kidney problems/kidney failure: Vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea can cause dehydration and kidney issues and make kidney problems worse in individuals who have pre-existing kidney conditions; may sometimes lead to the need for hemodialysis.
• Thyroid C-cell tumor: Trouble swallowing, hoarseness, a lump or swelling in your neck, or shortness of breath (see “Black Box Warning” above).

Do not drive if your blood sugar has been low. There is a greater chance of you having a crash. Very low blood sugar can lead to seizures, passing out, long-lasting brain damage, and sometimes death. It may be harder to control blood sugar during stress, such as fever, infection, injury, or surgery. A change in physical activity, exercise, or diet may also affect blood sugar. If you have symptoms of low blood sugar, try having liquid or food containing sugar (around 15-20 grams)—drink juice or regular soda, or eat some hard candies right away, as this will help raise your blood sugar quickly. Contact your care provider for instructions on how to manage low blood sugar. If compounded semaglutide is taken with insulin or an insulin secretagogue (i.e., sulfonylureas), it is best to talk to your health care provider about possibly lowering the dose of these medications to lower the risk of hypoglycemia.

WARNING

Please contact your doctor ASAP and seek in-person care immediately if a side effect becomes problematic or you experience:

• Severe nausea and/or vomiting resulting in dehydration-  it is important to stay well hydrated and drink plenty of fluids while on this medication
• Kidney problems/kidney failure - vomiting, nausea, diarrhea can cause dehydration and kidney issues and make kidney problems worse in individuals who have pre-existing kidney conditions; may sometimes lead to the need for hemodialysis
• Thyroid C-Cell Tumor: Trouble swallowing, hoarseness, a lump or swelling in your neck, or shortness of breath (see black box warning below)
• Pancreatitis: Severe pain in your abdomen or back that will not go away
• Acute gallbladder disease - Pain in the middle or right upper stomach, fever, white parts of your eyes turn yellow or skin turns yellow, nausea/vomiting. If gallstones or inflammation of the gallbladder is suspected further studies are needed.
• Hepatitis/Elevated liver enzymes/Jaundice
• Diabetic retinopathy problems: Changes in vision in those with Type 2 diabetes, particularly vision problems may worsen in those with a history of diabetic retinopathy
• Severe gastrointestinal disease - may cause gastrointestinal disease; do not use if you have a history of severe gastrointestinal disease
• Signs of low blood sugar (for example, dizziness, weakness, shakiness, jitteriness, headache, anxiety/mood changes, rapid heartbeat, confusion, slurred speech, sweating, or lightheadedness). While this is rare with GLP-1s, if it occurs, please seek in-person care immediately. If you have these symptoms, try having liquid or food containing sugar (around 15-20 grams) —drinking juice, having regular soda, or eating some hard candies right away, as this will help raise your blood sugar quickly. If taken with insulin or an insulin secretagogue (ie sulfonylurea) it is best to talk to your health care provider about possibly lowering the dose of these medications to lower the risk of hypoglycemia.
• If you are going under general anesthesia or deep sedation, GLP-1s may make you accidentally breathe food or liquid into your lungs (pulmonary aspiration). Tell the providers who will be performing the procedure that you’re taking a GLP-1 so they can give you instructions to avoid this.
