Weight Management

The global use of GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonists has significantly increased, driven by their effectiveness in managing type 2 diabetes and supporting weight loss. This class of medications includes popular injectable options like semaglutide and tirzepatide. Due to high demand, these medications have been added to the FDA’s Drug Shortage List. In response, the FDA has provided guidance for compounding pharmacies to produce essential alternatives while these drugs remain on the shortage list.

At Seven Lakes Prescription Shoppe, we offer compounded semaglutide in a convenient sublingual form. We recognize that many individuals prefer to avoid injections due to discomfort or storage challenges. Our sublingual options can also help minimize side effects such as severe nausea and headaches. Each sublingual suspension is dispensed in a bottle with an oral syringe for precise dosing.

How GLP-1 and GIP Receptor Agonists Work

GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonists help regulate blood glucose levels and promote a feeling of fullness, contributing to gradual weight loss. They work by:
  • Increasing Insulin Release: Stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin in response to food intake.
  • Reducing Liver Sugar Production: Decreasing the amount of sugar released from the liver into the bloodstream.
  • Slowing Gastric Emptying: Delaying the emptying of the stomach after meals, which helps control blood sugar levels and reduces appetite.
These medications are designed to complement a healthy diet and exercise regimen, improving blood glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. They are not suitable for patients with type 1 diabetes.

Benefits of Sublingual Compounded Medications

  • No Injections Required: Avoid the discomfort and inconvenience of injectable medications.
  • Reduced Side Effects: Potentially lower the incidence of severe nausea and headaches.
  • Precise Dosing: Easy-to-use oral syringe ensures accurate dosing.

In addition, our compounding pharmacist can help balance hormones and provide nutritional support through high quality supplements to aid in weight loss.

If you are interested in learning more or beginning your weight loss journey, please contact Seven Lakes Prescription Shoppe to see how we can support you and your goals. Our team can collaborate with your healthcare provider or refer you to one if needed.

Compounded medications are not reviewed by the FDA for safety or efficacy. A prescription from a licensed practitioner is required for compounded medications.
