What Florida Patients Are Saying

I live outside North Lauderdale and couldn't find a local provider with any availability. Set this up on a Sunday evening. Approved Monday morning, medication shipped Tuesday. My physician actually read my full chart and asked follow-up questions — not what I expected.

My physician noticed I wasn't losing as fast in month 3 and proactively reached out about adjusting my dose. I didn't have to chase anyone down. That follow-through is rare.

I started in January. It's now 8 months later. Down 48 lbs. My blood pressure prescription has been cut in half by my regular doctor. I don't use the word lightly but it's been life-changing.

What to Expect: Semaglutide Treatment Timeline

The following reflects general physician guidance for compounded semaglutide. Your prescribing physician will tailor your protocol based on your individual health profile. Always follow your physician's specific instructions.

Weeks 1–4

Starting Dose (0.25 mg)

Your physician typically starts at the lowest dose to help your body adjust. Mild nausea or reduced appetite is common and usually settles within the first 1–2 weeks. Most patients do not experience significant weight loss at this stage — this phase is about tolerance.

Weeks 5–8

Dose Escalation (0.5 mg)

Your physician escalates your dose if you're tolerating the starting amount well. Appetite suppression becomes more noticeable. Most patients begin reporting meaningful weight changes in this window. Monthly check-ins allow your physician to assess progress and tolerability.

Weeks 9–20

Continued Escalation

Dosing continues to increase at 4-week intervals (1.0 mg, 1.7 mg) depending on individual response and tolerability. Weight loss typically accelerates through this phase. Your physician monitors for any gastrointestinal side effects and can slow titration if needed.

Week 20+

Maintenance (2.4 mg target)

The standard maintenance dose studied in STEP 1 trials is 2.4 mg weekly. Ongoing monthly monitoring continues as long as you remain on therapy. Your physician evaluates whether to continue, adjust, or taper based on your goals and response.

Commonly Reported Side Effects — What Your Physician Will Monitor

GastrointestinalNausea is the most commonly reported side effect, typically occurring in the first 4–8 weeks and resolving as your body adjusts. Taking your injection with food or before bed may reduce symptoms. Report persistent vomiting or abdominal pain to your physician promptly.
Injection SiteMild redness or irritation at the injection site is normal and temporary. Rotate injection sites (abdomen, thigh, upper arm) as directed. Inform your physician if you notice hardening, swelling, or persistent pain at any injection site.
When to Contact Your PhysicianContact your physician immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain (possible pancreatitis), vision changes, rapid heartbeat, or signs of allergic reaction. These are uncommon but require prompt medical attention.
