GLP-1 weight loss injection
Compounded Semaglutide, prescribed online
Compounded semaglutide is a weekly GLP-1 injection prepared by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy. It works on the same active ingredient as Wegovy and Ozempic, reduces appetite and food noise, and on FaroRx starts at $159 per month including provider review, supplies and free shipping.
What is Compounded Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist — it mimics a hormone your gut releases after eating, telling your brain you are full and slowing how quickly food leaves your stomach. Compounded semaglutide is prepared to your prescription by a state-licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy rather than a brand-name manufacturer.
Dosing
One small subcutaneous injection per week, on the same day each week. Your provider starts you on a low dose and increases it gradually over several months (titration) to balance results against side effects.
Who it's for
- Adults with a BMI of 27 or higher who want medical support for weight loss
- People who have tried diet and exercise without lasting results
- Patients looking for a more affordable alternative to brand-name GLP-1s
What's in the box
- Your compounded semaglutide vial or pen
- Syringes and alcohol swabs
- Step-by-step injection guide
- Cold-pack insulated shipping
How Compounded Semaglutide works
Quiets appetite
GLP-1 signaling reduces hunger and the constant "food noise" many patients describe.
Slows digestion
Food stays in the stomach longer, so smaller meals keep you satisfied.
Supports steady loss
In clinical studies, semaglutide patients lost on average around 15% of body weight over 68 weeks.
Side effects, honestly
Every medication has tradeoffs. Here's what to know before you start — your provider reviews your full history before prescribing.
- Nausea (most common, usually eases over time)
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Mild fatigue or headache during dose increases

Compounded Semaglutide questions
How much does compounded semaglutide cost without insurance?
On FaroRx, plans start at $159 per month all-in — medication, supplies, provider review and shipping. No insurance is needed and there are no hidden fees.
Is compounded semaglutide FDA-approved?
No. Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy under sections 503A/503B of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. They are not FDA-approved products. Your provider decides whether a compounded option is appropriate for you.
How fast will I lose weight on semaglutide?
Most patients notice reduced appetite in the first two weeks. Meaningful weight change typically appears between weeks 4 and 12, with the largest results over 6 to 12 months as your dose increases.
What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?
Semaglutide targets one hormone receptor (GLP-1); tirzepatide targets two (GIP and GLP-1) and produced somewhat larger average weight loss in studies. Tirzepatide costs more. Your provider can help you choose.
Do I have to inject it myself?
Yes — it is a small subcutaneous injection once a week, similar to a quick pinch. We include syringes, swabs and a step-by-step guide, and most patients find it easy after the first dose.
What happens if I stop taking it?
Appetite typically returns to baseline within weeks, and without lifestyle changes some weight regain is common. Many patients taper with their provider and keep a maintenance plan.
Can I get semaglutide online without an in-person visit?
Yes. FaroRx uses a licensed telehealth intake reviewed by a U.S. provider. If treatment is appropriate, your prescription is sent to the pharmacy and shipped to you.
Is it safe to buy semaglutide online?
It is safe when the provider is licensed, the pharmacy is a licensed U.S. compounder, and the operation is independently certified — FaroRx is LegitScript-approved. Avoid any site selling semaglutide without a prescription.
