Question 1

What is Semaglutide?

Accepted Answer

Compounded Semaglutide is the active ingredient in several diabetes and weight loss drugs like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Rybelsus®. This compound is a synthetic form of the naturally occurring hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).

Question 2

What is Tirzepatide?

Accepted Answer

Compounded Tirzepatide contains the same active ingredient as brand name medications like Zepbound® and Mounjaro®. Tirzepatide is a weekly injection that can help lower blood glucose (sugar) for people with Type 2 diabetes. Along with diet and exercise, Tirzepatide can lead to significant weight loss — an average of 15% to 20% (34 lbs to 48 lbs).
 
Tirzepatide works by directly activating both GIP and GLP-1 pathways to help regulate blood sugar, suppress appetite, and delay gastric emptying. GIP and GLP-1 are natural hormones responsible for regulating blood sugar levels in response to eating food. This potent dual action is an effective solution for improving health and losing weight.

Question 4

How does Semaglutide work?

Accepted Answer

Semaglutide is a synthetic compound that imitates the effect of the natural hormone GLP-1 in the body. Semaglutide is officially classified as a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, and it impacts blood sugar metabolism and calorie intake.
After eating a meal, your intestines release a hormone called GLP-1, which signals your pancreas to release more insulin. Insulin is a hormone that plays a crucial role in reducing blood sugar levels by facilitating the entry of glucose (sugar) into cells, where it can be used for energy or stored for later use. GLP-1 is especially important in ensuring that insulin is released at the right times, particularly after meals when blood sugar levels typically rise.

Question 6

How to prepare your syringe for your weekly SQ Injection.

Accepted Answer

• Review your dosing instructions to ensure that you are drawing up the correct number of units. *If you are unsure, please call for clarification: 321-848-5699
 • Preparing a syringe 
    • Remove the cap from the vial. The rubber stopper should be cleaned with an alcohol swab for seconds then aired dry. Draw air into the syringe. Draw back the plunger to fill the syringe with air up to the dose that you’ll be injecting. This is done because the vial is a vacuum, and you need to add an equal amount of air to regulate the pressure. This makes it easier to draw the medication into the syringe. 
    • Insert air into the vial. Remove the cap from the needle and push the needle through the rubber stopper at the top of the vial. Inject all the air into the vial. Be careful to not touch the needle to keep it clean. 
 • Withdraw the medication 
    • Turn the vial and syringe upside down so the needle points upward. Then pull back on the plunger to withdraw the correct amount of medication. 
 • Remove any air bubbles Tap the syringe to push any bubbles to the top and gently depress the plunger to push the air bubbles out.

Question 7

How to self administer your weight loss medication

Accepted Answer

A subcutaneous (say "sub-kyoo-TAY-nee-us") shot is an injection of medicine under the skin, but not in a muscle.

1. Gather your equipment. This includes your syringe (containing medicine) and an alcohol wipe.
2. Wash your hands with soap and water. 
3. Choose a spot on your belly, thigh or back of your arm for the shot. 
   1. A shot in the belly should be 2 inches away from your belly button.
4. Use alcohol to clean the skin. 
   1. Let it dry.
5. Remove the cap from the needle.
6. Hold the syringe like a pencil close to the site. 
7. Slightly pinch a fold of skin at the spot you chose. 
   1. Pinch it between the fingers and thumb of one hand. 
8. Place the syringe at a 90-degree angle to the shot site. 
9. The needle should stand straight up from the skin. 
10. Quickly push the needle all the way into the pinched-up fold of skin. 
11. Push the plunger of the syringe all the way in. 
   1. This allows the medicine to go into the fatty tissue. 
   2. Be sure to hold the skin fold as you give the shot. This will help make sure that you don't inject the medicine into muscle.
12. Take the needle out at the same angle that you inserted it. 
13. Let go of the skin fold. 
   1. If you bleed a little, apply pressure over the shot area with gauze. 
14. Dispose of the needle safely. 
   1. Don't use the same needle more than one time and rotate sites each time.
