Semaglutide, prescribed by telehealth

Semaglutide is a once-weekly injectable that acts on the GLP-1 receptor. Compounded semaglutide is available at RxPepLab by prescription after a licensed provider's review.

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide activates the GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor. GLP-1 is a hormone the gut releases after eating; it plays roles in insulin release, how quickly the stomach empties, and appetite.

FDA-approved brand-name products containing semaglutide exist. Compounded semaglutide is a different product: it is prepared for an individual patient by a licensed compounding pharmacy, is not FDA-approved, and is not the same as any brand-name medication.
