Limitations of Use:
Co-administration with other COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE-containing products or any GLP-1 receptor agonist is not recommended.

COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE has not been studied in patients with a history of pancreatitis.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: RISK OF THYROID C-CELL TUMORS See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning.
In rodents, SEMAGLUTIDE causes thyroid C-cell tumors in clinically relevant exposures. It is unknown whether SEMAGLUTIDE causes thyroid C-cell tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in humans as the human relevance of SEMAGLUTIDE-induced rodent thyroid C-cell tumors has not been determined
SEMAGLUTIDE is contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of MTC or in patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Counsel patients regarding the potential risk of MTC and symptoms of thyroid tumors.
Do not take COMPOUNDED SEMAGLUTIDE if you:
Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or in patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2).
Have been diagnosed with Diabetes (Type 1 or 2)
Have been diagnosed with pancreatitis or history of pancreatitis
Have a diagnosis or history of gastroparesis - severe problems with your stomach, such as slowed emptying of your stomach (gastroparesis) or problems with digesting food

Have a history of suicidal attempts or active suicidal ideation
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Acute Pancreatitis: Has occurred in clinical trials. Discontinue promptly if pancreatitis is suspected. Do not restart if pancreatitis is confirmed.
Acute Gallbladder Disease: Has occurred in clinical trials. If cholelithiasis is suspected, gallbladder studies and clinical follow-up are indicated.
Gastroparesis: Uncommon, but more serious, gastrointestinal adverse effect may also occur more frequently with GLP-1 receptor agonists than with other weight loss agents.
