Step 3: Enter the Waiting RoomWhat is semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a once-weekly injectable GLP-1 medication. It helps you feel full sooner, eat less, and reduce cravings. We prescribe compounded semaglutide when appropriate.
Who it's for
- Adults with a BMI of 27 or higher
- People ready to commit to a 3-month program
- Patients physically in Florida during visits
Who should not take it
GLP-1 medications aren't right for everyone. They're not recommended if you're pregnant or planning pregnancy, or have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2. Abby will review your full history first.

Frequently asked questions
Is semaglutide the same as tirzepatide?
No. Both are GLP-1 medications, but tirzepatide also acts on a second hormone, GIP. Abby will help you decide which fits you best. See our tirzepatide page to compare.
What side effects are common?
The most common are nausea, upset stomach, and constipation, especially when starting or increasing a dose. Abby will start low and adjust slowly.
Do I need to be in Florida?
Yes. You must be physically in Florida during your visits.
