Wegovy and Ozempic both come as an auto injector just as many insulin medications do, this can significantly increase the price of the medication. The generic Semaglutide can be obtained as a injectable medication that has to be self dosed and administered through insulin syringes. Some insurances will cover certain brands and some insurances won’t cover any of them. Rest assure we have a lost cost option should your insurance not cover your prescription.

Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects. Most side effects are minor and go away as your body adjusts to the medication after a few doses. Gradual dose increases over time can minimize potential gastrointestinal side effects. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal. Clinical trial participants reported nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, gas, stomach pain, and heartburn. There was also an increased incidence of gallbladder disease. These side effects are common with all glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists.

Side effects may include:

• Nausea
• Stomach pain
• Dizziness
• Diarrhea
• Headache
• Heartburn
• Vomiting
• Fatigue
• Constipation
• Upset stomach
• Gas and/or bloating

Additional possible side effects that may cause serious side effects:

• Inflammation of the pancreas
• Gallbladder problems
• Serious allergic reactions
• Kidney problems
• Increased heart rate
• Increased risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)

Talk to your healthcare provider about potential side effects to expect.

Semaglutide Membership: Once you are enrolled in the program the quarterly NeuDrip fee is automatically taken out of your account, per your first payment by square.  We billed quarterly because the mediation can last up to or around 3 months.  If you choose to cancel your membership for any reason within the first thirty (30) days you may do so by calling the office at 619-777-8662.  If you choose to cancel within the first 30 days, for any reason including intolerance to the medication, you will receive $150.00 of your NeuDrip membership payment back.  Example: If you pay $450 for the quarterly membership rate you will receive a $150 refund.  The initial couple of months are vital for Client-Doctor communication and the provider must be reimbursed for their time.  If you choose to cancel after the first 30 days you will lose out on the $450 in its entirety.  The first 30 days starts the day you pay for your membership.  We hate to see you go but understand things come up.

At NeuDrip we get our Semaglutides from a local Compounding Pharmacy. The compounding pharmacy makes the medication and sends each batch out to get tested before it goes out to clients. This formula also contains Cyanocobalamin (B12) designed to cut down on nausea.

This medication is not insulin and should not be used if you have type 1 diabetes or if you develop diabetic ketoacidosis. Semaglutide should not be used with any other GLP-1 medications.

RISK OF THYROID C−CELL TUMORS. If you or any family members have been diagnosed with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome Type 2 or Medullary thyroid cancer you should not take Semaglutide. If you have ever had pancreatitis consult with your medical provider as using Semaglutide can increase the risk of developing pancreatitis.
