Compounded semaglutide tablets are a daily GLP-1 medication for weight loss. A licensed physician decides whether to prescribe them. If prescribed, they cost from $84.99 per fill at the starting dose in California. They are not FDA-approved generics of the brand-name products, and a licensed 503A compounding pharmacy ships them to you.
Semaglutide acts on the GLP-1 gut-hormone pathway, which can affect appetite, fullness, digestion, insulin release, and blood sugar. A compounded oral tablet is a separate, non-FDA-approved preparation your clinician may review when appropriate.

What does GLP-1 mean?
GLP-1 is a hormone your gut releases after eating. Medications that act on GLP-1 can affect digestion, appetite, fullness, insulin release, and blood sugar. Tirzepatide adds a second pathway, GIP.
How does the oral tablet compare to the injection?
The injection is weekly; the compounded tablet is taken daily. Your prescriber helps you choose based on your medical history, goals, preferences, and tolerance.
How should I compare prices?
Look at price per milligram and estimated weeks of supply, not just the upfront price. The cheapest package isn't always the cheapest per month.

Finally got the appetite suppression and lack of food noise everyone’s been talking about.
I started back in February on 0.25mg. Felt some appetite suppression and noise suppression, then I made a dumb decision and after 2 months, switched to tirz. For me, that fucked everything up. Food noise and appetite were raging, even as I kept titrating up on Tirz. I decided to switch back to Sema, titrating up and up and up and NEVER FEELING A GD THING. I thought I had messed it up for myself. That these meds weren’t gonna work for me anymore. Today I finally got up to 1.7mg and YAY I FINALLY FEEL WHAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT. Couldn’t even finish my salad for lunch and I’m still not hungry for dinner although I know I need to eat SOMETHING.
I hope it stays effective at this dose as I really don’t want to titrate up higher. I think it’s possible me stopping and restarting made my body require a higher dose. Boooo.
Anyway. Cheers!
I am truly flabbergasted. I took my first dose of sema a couple of days ago, and my knee pain has vanished. I have struggled with “runners knee” for years. It’s been particularly bad the last year, restricting my mobility and ability to do long runs. I’ve done all the quad and gluten strengthening exercises the Dr recommended with only marginal improvement.
Lo and behold, I take sema and my knee pain is gone. I can do a figure 4 stretch without pain for the first time in 8 months.
If I lose 0 lbs, sema would be worth it just for this.
Dieting and exercise would do NOTHING for me before, 1.5 years later I’m down 50kg and at a healthy BMI for the first time since teenage years. Just turned 30 and for the first time ever, I feel confident in my body, feel beautiful and feminine.
I initially started on Wegovy as my last hope to shed some weight so I can prepare for a future healthy pregnancy. And now I’m on my way down dosage wise.
Unlearned so many bad habits, built a healthy relationship with food where I allow myself to eat the things I crave, found a form of exercise I LOVE and keep at it, push on my records all the time (cycled 100 kms on a random Saturday like wtf 🤯).
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this medicine changed my life and feel so privileged to be able to have access to it. To make things even more unreal, have only experienced mild symptoms on 3 occasions where I overate/ ate something too fatty.
I’ve been the biggest advocate for Wegovy to everyone in my life who has asked how I did it - I think so many people are ashamed/ gatekeep how they lost weight with Wegovy, but I think EVERYONE who is overweight should at least have the knowledge that this medicine exists.
If anyone reading this is just starting their journey, hope this is giving you hope ❤️
