Medications
Two treatment options. Your provider decides.
If GLP-1 treatment is appropriate for you, your provider will recommend a medication based on your health history and goals, and adjust it as you go.
About compounded medications. The medications below are compounded: prepared by a state-licensed pharmacy for an individual patient under a valid prescription. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, are not generic versions of any FDA-approved drug, and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality. A provider may prescribe a compounded medication when they determine it is appropriate for a specific patient. Aldwyn does not compound or dispense medication.
Compounded semaglutide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It slows stomach emptying and acts on appetite centers in the brain, which can reduce hunger and food intake.
$199 / month, medication included
Typical titration, if prescribed
| Weeks | Weekly dose |
|---|---|

Dispensing
Who fills your prescription
Prescriptions are sent to state-licensed US pharmacies licensed to dispense in each state we serve. You’ll receive the pharmacy’s name, license information, and contact details with your order, along with medication-specific instructions and storage guidance.
Who should not take GLP-1 medications. People with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2; people who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding; and people with a history of pancreatitis should not use these medications. Tell your provider about all medications you take, especially insulin or sulfonylureas.
