Semaglutide

Found in: Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus. Compounded semaglutide is often combined with sodium or acetate and B12 or L-carnitine.

What it is: Developed in 2012 and released in 2017 for type 2 diabetes treatment.

How it works: Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) agonists. Dr. Daniel Rosen, a board-certified bariatric surgeon in New York City, explains that an agonist activates a receptor, mimicking the biological peptide GLP-1. When GLP-1 receptors in the pancreas are activated, they reduce appetite and slow gastric emptying, leading to less food intake.

In simpler terms, GLP-1 helps the body process food for energy by lowering blood sugar levels and slowing digestion, promoting a feeling of fullness and aiding in weight management.

Joe Baczewski, RN, founder of LIVation in Madison, Connecticut, compounds semaglutide with carnitine. “Semaglutide stabilizes blood sugar and reduces food intake. Carnitine helps ensure the body primarily breaks down fat for energy instead of glucose or muscle.”

Side Effects: Possible side effects include nausea, constipation, and vomiting. Serious but rare side effects include pancreatitis and gallbladder disease. Those who are pregnant or have a history of medullary thyroid cancer should not use these medications, according to Dr. Kumar.

“Semaglutide face”: Weight loss can lead to volume loss in the face, causing signs of aging such as sagging and hollowness. Dermal fillers like Juvederm Voluma can restore lost volume in the midface for those over 21.
