Semaglutide Compounded Brockport, NY - Balance Health Clinic

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is an injectable weight loss medication that helps people lose weight and keep it off. It works by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1 that targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. Semaglutide helps you feel fuller faster, longer after eating, and decreases cravings.

When taken regularly, semaglutide has been shown in clinical trials to result in significant weight loss for most people. In trials, people lost an average of 15-17% of their starting body weight over 68 weeks of treatment.

Benefits of Semaglutide

There are many benefits to using semaglutide compounded for weight loss and maintenance:

• Promotes weight loss without the need for extensive diet or exercise changes
• Leads to reduction in BMI and waist circumference
• Improves markers for cardiovascular health like blood pressure and cholesterol
• Can help reverse or improve type 2 diabetes
• Easy-to-use injection under the skin once weekly

Additionally, compounded semaglutide allows for customized dosing and flexibility to meet each patient's unique needs and preferences.

Semaglutide Therapy Basics

Semaglutide therapy begins with a medical evaluation by one of our experienced medical providers to determine if it is appropriate for you.

We will check for any contraindications and order necessary lab tests to establish baseline measures. These may include:

• Comprehensive metabolic panel to assess organ function
• Thyroid panel to rule out thyroid dysfunction
• Vitamin D and B12 levels to check for nutritional deficiencies
• Lipid panel to evaluate cholesterol and triglycerides

Starting Semaglutide Treatment

Once cleared to start, we begin with a low dose of semaglutide compounded injection to allow your body to adjust and minimize any temporary GI side effects.

The typical dosing schedule is:

• Week 1: 0.25mg
• Week 2: 0.5mg
• Week 4: 1.0mg
• Week 6 : Maintenance dose of 1.0-2.4mg, customized as needed

Injections are administered under the skin of the thigh, stomach, or arm on the same day each week. Most patients reach an effective maintenance dose after 4-6 weeks.

Importance of Hormone Balance

Maintaining healthy hormone levels is essential for optimal health and wellbeing. When hormones are imbalanced, it can lead to unwanted symptoms like:

• Difficulty losing weight
• Increased belly fat
• Low energy and fatigue
• Loss of muscle mass
• Poor sleep

Prolonged hormone imbalance also elevates risks for certain diseases:

• Type 2 diabetes
• Cardiovascular disease
• Metabolic disorders

Getting tested and pursuing treatment early for any hormone deficiencies is key to restoring balance, feeling your best, and reducing future health risks.
