KYO's Guide to Ozempic and Compounded Semaglutide Dosages
The Californer/10307710

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- KYOrx (Los Angeles) Semaglutide has gained widespread recognition for its effectiveness in managing Type 2 diabetes and aiding weight loss. Marketed under brand names like Ozempic and Wegovy, it is also available in compounded formulations, making it accessible to more patients. KYO breaks down the available dosages for semaglutide, the differences between branded and compounded options, and how to work with a KYO healthcare provider to find the right dosage for you.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a class of medications that help regulate blood sugar levels, curb appetite, and promote weight loss. It works by stimulating insulin secretion, slowing gastric emptying, and reducing hunger signals in the brain.

There are two primary branded options for semaglutide: Ozempic and Wegovy:

In addition, compounded semaglutide formulations are offered by specialized pharmacies, such as KYO. These can vary in strength and are typically used off-label for weight loss or glucose management.

Ozempic is available as a pre-filled pen with a standard titration schedule to ensure your body adjusts to the medication. The typical dosages include:

1. 0.25 mg per week: The starting dose for the first four weeks. This initial dose is not therapeutic but helps reduce potential side effects like nausea.
2. 0.5 mg per week: The maintenance dose for managing blood sugar levels in most patients. Many remain at this dose for long-term treatment.

3. 1 mg per week: For patients requiring greater glycemic control.
4. 2 mg per week: The maximum FDA-approved dose for Ozempic, used when lower doses are insufficient.

Note: Always follow your provider's guidance for dose escalation, as rushing may increase the risk of side effects.

Wegovy Dosages (Weight Loss-Specific)

1. 0.25 mg per week (Weeks 1–4)
2. 0.5 mg per week (Weeks 5–8)
3. 1 mg per week (Weeks 9–12)
4. 1.7 mg per week (Weeks 13–16)
5. 2.4 mg per week (Week 17 onward): The target dose for long-term weight loss.

Compounded semaglutide is created by specialty compounding pharmacies and can include unique variations, such as the addition of vitamins (like B12) or different delivery methods. Dosages in compounded forms often mimic those of Ozempic or Wegovy but may offer alternative strengths depending on your provider's recommendations. Our KYO semaglutide is offered in a variety of dosages to enable you to customize your treatment with our in-network doctor.

Key differences with compounded semaglutide:

• Customizable doses: Some compounding pharmacies offer strengths not available in branded versions.
• Affordability: Our KYO compounded semaglutide is the most cost-effective, especially for weight loss, which insurance may not cover.

Choosing the right dosage of semaglutide depends on several factors:

1. Your health goals: Whether you're managing Type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or focusing on weight loss.

2. Tolerability: Some patients may experience side effects (e.g., nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea), requiring slower titration or a lower dose.
3. Medical history: Existing health conditions like gastrointestinal issues or thyroid cancer risks may affect your dosage.
4. Cost and accessibility: If affordability is a concern, our KYO compounded options may provide a solution as we offer the most competitive price on the market.

Tips for Safe and Effective Use

1. Follow titration schedules: Gradually increasing the dosage allows your body to adapt and minimizes side effects.
2. Be consistent: Inject semaglutide on the same day each week, with or without food.
3. Monitor side effects: Report persistent or severe nausea, vomiting, or other symptoms to your provider.
4. Consult one of our KYO doctors thru the patient portal: when taking KYO compounded semaglutide, always work with our healthcare provider to ensure proper dosing and monitoring.

KYO Semaglutide is a powerful tool for managing diabetes and supporting weight loss, but it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. Always prioritize communication with our in house network of doctors to optimize your treatment plan and achieve the best possible outcomes.
