‣ Semaglutide is the same peptide as Ozempic & Wegovy. Consider this generic versus brand name. We source our Semaglutide through compounding pharmacies to avoid taking medication away from diabetics who need it, as well as for additional benefits such as added B12 for energy.
‣ To obtain Ozempic from a pharmacy, a patient must have a type-II diabetes mellitus diagnosis & A1C >6.5. If this applies to you, we typically prescribe Ozempic for you, pending pharmacy availability & insurance coverage.
‣ Wegovy is the only GLP-1 RA approved for weight loss. It is currently difficult to obtain certain doses, particularly the starting doses. Additionally, many insurance plans do not cover weight loss medications.
‣ Mounjaro is a dual peptide & belongs to the GLP-1 & GIP drug class. We offer Tirzepatide, the same peptide as Mounjaro, also from compounding pharmacies. Ask us more about this program.
