Semaglutide: A Simple Way to Lose Weight and Feel Amazing

Say Hello to a Healthier You with Semaglutide

Are you ready to lose weight and feel better than ever? At Volunteer Pharmacy, we’re here to help you discover Semaglutide—a powerful weight loss solution that’s helped so many people just like you. Sold as brand-name drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, semaglutide can help you eat less, feel full longer, and shed those extra pounds. Whether you prefer a weekly shot or our mini-pearl troches that dissolve in your mouth, semaglutide makes losing weight easier and more comfortable. Let’s explore how it can work for you!

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a medicine that acts like a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1. This hormone helps control your hunger and how your body processes food. Semaglutide comes in two forms:

• Injections (Ozempic, Wegovy, or compounded semaglutide): A shot you take once a week to help with weight loss or manage type 2 diabetes.
• Mini-Pearl Troches: Tiny pearl-shaped lozenges that dissolve under your tongue, offering a needle-free option with tasty flavors.

Here’s how Semaglutide helps:

• Cuts Down Hunger: It tells your brain you’re full, so you don’t feel hungry all the time.
• Keeps You Satisfied: It slows down how fast food leaves your stomach, helping you eat less without feeling deprived.
• Boosts Your Health: It can improve blood sugar, lower blood pressure, and even help your heart.

Semaglutide is great for adults who are overweight or obese, especially if they have health issues like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. You’ll need a prescription from your doctor to get started.

Important Update: What’s Happening with Semaglutide?

You might have heard about changes with Semaglutide. Until recently, some pharmacies made their own version of semaglutide (called compounded semaglutide) because the brand-name drugs Ozempic and Wegovy were hard to find. But now that the shortage is over, the FDA has asked pharmacies to stop making compounded semaglutide injections after May 22, 2025. If you’re currently using compounded semaglutide, don’t worry—we’re here to help you switch to another option or our semaglutide mini-pearl troches. We’ll even provide compounded injections in pre-filled syringes at a low price until the deadline, so you have plenty of time to transition.

What Does the Science Say About Semaglutide?

Semaglutide has been tested in big studies to show it really works! In the STEP 1 trial, people using semaglutide (Wegovy) lost an average of 15% of their body weight in a year—that’s about 30 pounds if you weigh 200 pounds! Over 70% of people lost at least 10% of their weight, compared to only 12% of those not using semaglutide. Another study showed it can lower your risk of heart problems by 20%, which is great news for your overall health. It’s no wonder doctors trust semaglutide to help with weight loss and more.

Your Semaglutide Weight Loss Journey: What to Expect

Semaglutide works best when you pair it with healthy eating and staying active. Here’s what you might experience:

• First Month: Getting Started
  If you’re using injections, you’ll start with a small dose to get your body used to it, increasing slowly over a few weeks. With mini-pearl troches, you’ll take a small dose that dissolves under your tongue each day. You might notice you’re not as hungry, and you’re eating smaller meals. Some people lose a few pounds already, though you might feel a bit of nausea at first—it usually goes away.
• Months 1–3: Seeing Changes
  By the third month, you could lose 5–10% of your weight (10–20 pounds if you weigh 200 pounds). You’ll likely feel less hungry, have fewer cravings, and start to feel more energetic. Your clothes might start fitting better!
• Months 4–6: Feeling Great
  Around six months, many people lose 10–15% of their weight (20–30 pounds for a 200-pound person). You’ll probably notice it’s easier to move around, your energy is up, and you’re feeling more confident. Plus, you might see health improvements like better blood sugar or blood pressure.
• Months 6–12: Keeping It Going
  After a year, studies show people lose an average of 15% of their weight—and they keep it off with healthy habits. You’ll feel lighter, more active, and ready to enjoy life to the fullest.

Things to Know: Side Effects and Safety

Semaglutide works well for most people, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Some people feel a little nauseous or have an upset stomach when they start, but this usually gets better after a few weeks. In studies, about 1 in 3 people had nausea at first, but most kept going and felt better over time.

There are some rare but serious risks, like a small chance of thyroid issues or stomach problems. That’s why it’s not right for everyone—especially if you have a history of thyroid cancer in your family or certain health conditions. Your doctor will check to make sure it’s safe for you. Also, about 1 in 10 people in studies stopped using Semaglutide because of side effects, so talk to your doctor if you’re having a hard time.

Semaglutide could be perfect if you:

• Are overweight or obese and want to lose weight.
