What is Compounded Semaglutide, or the Skinny Shot?

This is the weight loss injection that everyone is talking about, and what may be responsible for the sudden shrinking of certain celebrities. 

Compounded Semaglutide is a once-weekly injection that helps to regulate blood sugar, while suppressing appetite and improving satiety, or the sense of fullness. 

Compounded Semaglutide can cause weight loss of about 10%, and up to 20% of your body weight. 

What are the side effects of Compounded Semaglutide?

Because Compounded Semaglutide affects the digestive system, common side effects are nausea and heartburn. These side effects can be mitigated by adjusting the dose and with anti-nausea medications. 

Is Compounded Semaglutide safe?

Pancreatitis, which is the inflammation of the pancreas, is a rare but serious side effect. This may be more common in diabetics, who already have decreased function of their pancreas. 

There is a link to thyroid cancer in rats, but this hasn’t been reported in humans.
