What is Semaglutide?
First, it is important to understand what semaglutide is and how it helps practices in their weight management programs.
Semaglutide is without a doubt the most common FDA approved medication that helps patients see consistent weight loss. Semaglutide is a peptide that basically tells you that you are full because it mimics naturally occurring hormones that create a feeling of satiety after eating. It also brings down blood sugar levels by secreting insulin and slowing down the process of gastric emptying.
When used correctly, semaglutide copies the processes of your own hormones within your gastrointestinal tract, making it a perfect enhancement to any weight management strategy. Blood sugars are more easily controlled, fat storage is maintained optimally, and the feeling of fullness is extended. This leads to consistent and dependable weight loss.
FDA Disapproval
Industry articles and conversations recently have often centered around a ban on semaglutide. However, this may not be as concerning as it sounds. The real issue is that there is a shortage of the approved semaglutide, those created by Nova Nordisk in the form of Ozempic and Wegovy. Due to this, compounding pharmacies are legally allowed to make an exact duplicate of the name grand under FDA rules.
The true Ozempic and Wegovy semaglutide is a semaglutide base. But some duplicates were initially a semaglutide salt. That’s no longer the case. Compounding pharmacies, in an effort to maintain legitimacy and adhere to the law are only providing the base versions now, as confirmed by the Certificates of Analysis (CoA) they obtain from the FDA approved manufacturers that are making the semaglutide base.
However, you may still see FDA warnings abound. Those are specifically referring to pharmacies that make research grade semaglutide not intended for human use. Which is legal to make but illegal to provide to consumers that are mostly intending to use it for personal use rather than research use.
You may also see warnings regarding counterfeit Ozempic. In these cases, these are dishonest players providing the injector pens with Ozempic branding but no guarantee that semaaglutide is actually inside.
Because you can’t even feel confident that the injector pen with the name Ozempic is legit, you may feel more comfortable with medications accompanied by a CoA provided by the compounding pharmacy in the case of semaglutide and tirzepatide obtained from a medical practice.
State Bans
Due to FDA warnings and issues that have arisen from semaglutide salt, Louisiana, Mississippi, and North Carolina have all banned semaglutide for fear they are all the salt version. But that also bans legitimate semaglutide base which is more plentiful and less expensive than the name brand. In other words, the poorest, most obese states no longer have the option of obtaining safe weight loss meds that are more affordable!
