Compounded Semaglutide
Important Safety Information Regarding Compounded Semaglutide Products
Please be aware that compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and do not undergo clinical studies to evaluate for safety and efficacy, unlike FDA-approved commercially available products. Compounded products may still be legally prescribed, and your healthcare provider may issue you a prescription for compounded semaglutide based on your medical consultation. For more information, see the FDA's concerns with compounded GLP-1 medications used for weight loss.
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used for chronic weight management, along with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity, for people with an initial body mass index (BMI) of:
- 30 kg/m2 or greater (obesity); or
- 27 kg/m2 or greater (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbid condition (e.g., hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or dyslipidemia).

Compounded semaglutide may cause serious side effects, including:
- Possible thyroid tumors, including cancer. Tell your healthcare provider if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath. These may be symptoms of thyroid cancer. In studies with rodents, semaglutide caused thyroid tumors, including thyroid cancer. It is not known if semaglutide will cause thyroid tumors or a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in humans.
Who should not use compounded semaglutide:
- Do not use semaglutide if you or any family member has ever had a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or if you have an endocrine system condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
- Do not use compounded semaglutide if you have had a serious allergic reaction to semaglutide in the past.
Before starting compounded semaglutide, tell your healthcare provider if you have any other medical conditions, including if you:
- Have or have had problems with your pancreas or kidneys
- Have type 2 diabetes and a history of diabetic retinopathy.
- Have or have had depression, suicidal thoughts, or mental health issues.

- Are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if semaglutide passes into your breast milk.
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take. This includes prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Semaglutide may affect the way some medicines work, and some medicines may affect the way semaglutide works.
Serious side effects can occur with semaglutide. You or a caregiver should carefully monitor for these side effects, especially in the beginning of treatment and with dosage changes. Semaglutide may cause serious side effects, including:
- Thyroid C-Cell Tumors. Tell your healthcare provider if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath. These may be symptoms of thyroid cancer. In studies with rodents, semaglutide caused thyroid tumors, including thyroid cancer. It is not known if semaglutide will cause thyroid tumors or a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in humans.
- Paralysis of the stomach (gastroparesis). The symptoms of gastroparesis may include feeling full shortly after starting a meal, feeling full long after eating a meal, nausea, and vomiting. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any of these symptoms.
- Inflammation of your pancreas (pancreatitis). Stop using semaglutide and contact your healthcare provider immediately if you have severe pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that will not go away, with or without vomiting.

Compounded NAD+ Injections
NAD+ injections are generally considered safe when administered properly. However, as with any medical treatment, there may be risks and potential side effects. Here are some important safety points to consider:
- Injection Site Reactions: Mild bruising or soreness at the injection site is the most common side effect. This typically resolves on its own.
- Allergic Reactions: Although rare, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to NAD+ injections. If you notice any signs of an allergic response (such as rash, itching, or difficulty breathing), seek immediate medical attention.
- Interactions with Medications: NAD+ injections may interact with certain medications. Always inform your healthcare provider about any other drugs you’re taking to avoid potential interactions.
- Underlying Health Conditions: Consult with your doctor before undergoing NAD+ therapy, especially if you have underlying health conditions. They can assess whether NAD+ injections are suitable for you.
- Long-Term Effects: While NAD+ injections are generally well-tolerated, more research is needed to fully understand their long-term effects and safety profile.
