Protocol Timeline

Step Weeks Dose Compound Note
1 4 0.25 mg Semaglutide (Injectable) Initiation — mirrors Ozempic
2 4 0.5 mg Semaglutide (Injectable) First therapeutic dose
3 0 1 mg Semaglutide (Injectable) Maintenance — adjust based on provider guidance

Rationale

Verify compounding pharmacy is 503B (outsourcing facility) for higher quality standards. Compounded semaglutide may include additives (e.g., B12, L-carnitine) not in branded product — these are not evidence-based and may cause issues. Standard protocol same as branded.
