What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite, slows digestion, and produces clinically significant weight loss. It is sold under the brand names Wegovy (FDA-approved for weight loss) and Ozempic (FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, frequently prescribed off-label for weight loss). Compounded semaglutide is also available from licensed compounding pharmacies at a lower cost.
Treatment involves a weekly subcutaneous injection — most patients self-inject at home after a brief training from their provider. You start at a low dose and increase gradually over 16 to 20 weeks to minimize nausea and GI side effects. Clinical trials show patients lose an average of 15% to 17% of body weight over 68 weeks when combined with lifestyle changes.
Most providers bundle medication, injection supplies, provider check-ins, and labs into a monthly fee. Compounded semaglutide typically runs $300 to $500/month — significantly less than brand-name Wegovy at $900 to $1,200/month without insurance.
How much does Semaglutide cost in San Francisco?
Semaglutide in San Francisco typically costs $420 to $1,680 per month. Compounded semaglutide is the more affordable option. Brand-name Wegovy costs significantly more without insurance coverage.

- Do you prescribe compounded or brand-name semaglutide? What is the price difference?
- What pharmacy do you source compounded semaglutide from? Is it FDA-registered?
- What is included in the monthly fee — medication, supplies, labs, provider check-ins?
- Who is my prescribing provider — an MD, NP, or PA? How many semaglutide patients do they manage?
- What is the dose-escalation schedule? How do you handle nausea or side effects?
- What is the plan when I reach my goal weight — maintenance dose or tapering off?
Frequently asked questions
How much does semaglutide cost in San Francisco?
Semaglutide in San Francisco typically costs $300 to $1,200 per month. Compounded semaglutide runs $300 to $500/month through a licensed provider. Brand-name Wegovy costs $900 to $1,200/month without insurance. Most providers bundle the medication, supplies, and check-ins into the monthly fee.
Is semaglutide the same as Ozempic?
Yes — they are the same molecule. Ozempic is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes. Wegovy is the same semaglutide at a higher dose, FDA-approved specifically for weight loss. Compounded semaglutide contains the same active ingredient made by a licensed compounding pharmacy.
Is semaglutide the same as Wegovy?
Yes. Wegovy is the brand name for semaglutide at the weight-loss dosing schedule (up to 2.4 mg weekly). It is FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with a BMI over 30, or over 27 with a weight-related condition. Compounded semaglutide offers the same molecule at lower cost.
What is compounded semaglutide and is it safe?
Compounded semaglutide is made by licensed compounding pharmacies when the brand-name drug is in shortage. It can be safe when obtained from a reputable, state-licensed 503B pharmacy. Always ask your provider where their pharmacy is sourced — avoid online marketplaces with vague origins.
How much weight can I lose with semaglutide?
Clinical trials show an average loss of 15% to 17% of body weight over 68 weeks. Individual results vary based on starting weight, dose, and lifestyle changes. Most patients see meaningful results within the first 3 months.
What are the side effects of semaglutide?
The most common side effects are nausea, constipation, fatigue, and decreased appetite — usually strongest during dose escalations. Serious but rare side effects include pancreatitis and gallbladder issues. Side effects typically improve once the dose stabilizes.
How long do I need to take semaglutide?
Most patients take semaglutide for 6 to 12 months to reach their goal weight, then transition to a lower maintenance dose. Weight tends to return if medication is stopped without significant lifestyle changes in place. Plan for the long term with your provider.
