GLP-1 Weight Loss
Mino GLP1-S
Semaglutide — active ingredient
Compounded Semaglutide · Ozempic / Wegovy class
Once-weekly GLP-1 therapy for sustained, physician-supervised weight loss.
Overview
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that has become one of the most effective tools for medically supervised weight loss. It mimics a naturally occurring hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar.
At Mino MD, semaglutide is prescribed only after a licensed physician reviews your health history, BMI, and lab markers — and dispensed through a U.S. compounding pharmacy with a structured titration plan.
How it works
Semaglutide activates GLP-1 receptors in the brain and gut, reducing hunger signals, increasing satiety, and slowing how quickly your stomach empties. The result is smaller portions, fewer cravings, and steadier energy across the day.
Benefits
- Clinically significant, sustained weight loss when paired with nutrition coaching
- Once-weekly subcutaneous injection — simple to fit into any routine
- Reduced appetite and food noise
- Improved blood sugar control and metabolic markers
- Structured 16-week titration to minimize side effects
Dosing
Most patients start at 0.25mg once weekly and titrate every four weeks toward a 2.4mg target dose as tolerated. Your physician personalizes the schedule, and a conservative ramp is available for sensitive patients.
Who it's for
Generally appropriate for adults with a BMI of 30+ , or 27+ with a weight-related condition such as prediabetes or hypertension. A guided History & Physical and AI contraindication review screen out anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, MEN2, pregnancy, or other disqualifying factors.
Possible side effects
- Nausea, especially during dose increases
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Fatigue or headache early in treatment
- Most effects are mild and ease as your body adjusts
Frequently asked questions
How much weight can I lose on semaglutide?
In clinical studies, patients lost on average around 15% of their body weight over roughly a year when semaglutide was combined with lifestyle changes. Individual results vary based on dose, adherence, and nutrition.
Is compounded semaglutide the same as Ozempic or Wegovy?
It contains the same active ingredient, semaglutide, but is prepared by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy rather than a brand manufacturer. Your physician will determine whether compounded semaglutide is appropriate for you.
How soon will I see results?
Many patients notice reduced appetite within the first week or two. Meaningful weight change typically becomes visible over the first one to three months as your dose increases.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes. Semaglutide is prescription-only. A licensed Mino MD physician reviews your intake and must approve treatment before anything is dispensed.
