What if I need a higher dose of Semaglutide?
Consult your provider for details.
How often will I receive a shipment?
Your Semaglutide program includes shipments every 90 days, with monthly options available.
Is this real medication?
Yes, all medications originate from State Board of Pharmacy licensed sterile compounding pharmacies or FDA-licensed 503(b) Outsourcing Facilities, ensuring the highest quality standards. We collaborate with US licensed pharmacies that utilize premium-grade ingredients exclusively.
Typically, medically approved clients receive prescription Semaglutide Injections, gradually absorbed by the body over days or weeks to aid in appetite and craving reduction. The medication prescribed is compounded and unrelated to Novo Nordisk™ or the branded medications Wegovy® or Ozempic®.
How does this compare to brand name drugs?
The FDA-approved brand name drugs, like Wegovy® and Ozempic®, are exclusively distributed by the Novo Nordisk™ company. Port Medicine maintains no affiliation or endorsement with these products or entities. We do not supply these items; individuals seeking them should consult their licensed healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Port Medicine specializes in compounded medications sourced from State Board of Pharmacy licensed sterile compounding pharmacies or FDA-licensed 503(b) Outsourcing Facilities. Although these facilities adhere to stringent regulations, compounded medications lack FDA approval as they're tailored to individual prescriptions. Variations in strength, dosage, administration route, and other factors make direct comparisons with FDA-approved drugs challenging. Prescriptions for compounded medications rely on a licensed provider's medical judgment following a telehealth consultation and review of medical history.
How much weight will I lose?
Weight loss varies, with many clients losing around 5% of initial body weight, potentially up to 10% over 12 weeks, aided by diet and lifestyle changes.
How do I inject my medication?
Refer to our instructional video on Semaglutide injection techniques. Reach out to your provider or a licensed medical professional with any concerns.
What is the age range for treatment?
Patients aged 21 to 75 seeking GLP-1 programs are eligible for treatment.
How soon will I receive my medication?
After your provider prescribes medication, processing takes 3-4 business days before shipping via 2-Day delivery, typically arriving within 8-10 business days.
