Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a class of medication that acts on the body’s incretin system to help regulate blood sugar and appetite. It is prescribed within medically supervised weight management and metabolic health treatment plans. Healthville Pharmacy prepares compounded semaglutide in our licensed facility to the strength and form your prescriber orders, and every preparation is dispensed under pharmacist supervision against an individual prescription.
