Semaglutide Sublingual Drops

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and support long-term weight management.

EllieMD’s healthcare providers might prescribe a custom-made version of semaglutide that includes additional metabolic support ingredients such as Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Carnitine, or similar ones. The specific ingredients included may vary depending on your location and the pharmacy partnered with EllieMD. Therefore, depending on where you live, you may receive different metabolic support ingredients from your local pharmacy.

When purchasing a weight management product, you are committing to a 3-month subscription plan which can not be canceled. After 3 months you can continue your weight management journey on another 3-month plan on the same or higher dosage depending on your medical providers advice. 

EllieMD compounds semaglutide and tirzepatide with Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin). This metabolic support ingredient is added to enhance the overall benefits of the treatment. Vitamin B12 plays a critical role in energy metabolism and supports patients’ overall health, making the compounded formulation unique compared to commercially available options. These compounds are prepared in compliance with Section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to address specific patient needs and provide personalized care solutions.

EllieMD partners with a pharmacy that operates in compliance with Section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. This allows for the compounding of medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide when specific formulations are required that are not commercially available. These compounds may address unique patient needs, such as customized dosing, alternative delivery methods, or sensitivities to standard ingredients. By adding Vitamin B12, EllieMD ensures the compounded medications meet both clinical efficacy and personalized patient care standards.

Semaglutide aids in weight loss by reducing hunger and increasing feelings of fullness. It mimics GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), a hormone naturally produced by the gut when you eat. GLP-1 helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels in the body.

Semaglutide is generally safe when used correctly with guidance from a healthcare provider. However, like any medication, it can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, which are usually mild and temporary. In rare cases, more serious side effects like pancreatitis or kidney problems may occur.

It’s important to discuss the risks and benefits of semaglutide with your healthcare provider and report any side effects or concerns promptly.

No, EllieMD does not offer any salt-based form of semaglutide. 

Certain pharmacies we collaborate with utilize standard ingredients like sodium dibasic phosphate to stabilize the pH of the formula. However, this does not constitute semaglutide salt; it’s merely an inactive buffering agent. All our partner pharmacies adhere to FDA-approved ingredients that are pharmaceutical-grade and rigorously regulated.

The package will include a vial of the medication (sufficient for up to 12 weeks, subject to your location and chosen pharmacy), instructional materials (with web links to video content), insulin needles, and alcohol swabs.

EllieMD’s weight loss medication must be refrigerated. Please refrigerate it promptly upon receiving the medication.
