Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist that has been used in helping patients with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar for several years.  Recently there is added an additional indication to the drug, allowing it to help patients battling chronic weight management. Hazle Compounding Pharmacy has formulated a compounded liquid sublingual (under the tongue) form of this drug to help increase bioavailability and increase absorption. 

Yes. All compounded medications are available by prescription only from your physician, nurse practitioner, or physician’s assistant. Before considering Compounded Sublingual Semaglutide, it is important to talk with your healthcare provider to see if it is the right choice for your individual health needs.

Compounded Sublingual Semaglutide works to reduce appetite and hunger. It will also slow down the speed of food leaving the stomach and will increase the feeling of fullness.

The sublingual dosage form of  Compounded Semaglutide is easier than injections and is dosed under the tongue. It is cost effective with no prior authorization or insurance needed.

The dosage may vary per patient. Starting dosage is 0.5 ml under the tongue once daily (hold for at least 4-5 minutes). After a few days increase to 1ml once daily. Consult your provider or Hazle Compounding if not sure of when to increase your dose.

The longer the medication is held under the tongue, the better the absorption. Hold under the tongue for at least 90 seconds. 4-5 minutes or longer is even better to help the medication absorb into the blood stream. Do not eat or drink anything for 30-60 minutes. It is very important to understand that this specialty compound is just one of the components to a successful weight loss program. Regular exercise, changing your eating habits and other lifestyle modifications are some of the necessary factors that will lead to a successful weight loss journey.
