Same active ingredient as Wegovy
Compounded semaglutide uses semaglutide, the same active ingredient as Wegovy and Ozempic, prepared for you by a licensed compounding pharmacy
How semaglutide works
Semaglutide acts like a hormone your gut already releases after meals. It slows digestion and quiets hunger between meals, so more patients eat less without forcing it
How semaglutide is dosed
Your dose starts low at 0.25mg weekly and steps up over your first months so your body can adapt. Your provider works with you to set the schedule
What results to expect
In a 68-week clinical study, adults taking semaglutide 2.4mg lost an average of 15% of their body weight, used alongside diet and activity
¹Compounded semaglutide is prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy and is not reviewed or approved by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality. The 15% figure reflects a clinical study of brand-name semaglutide 2.4mg, not the compounded preparation. Results vary and are not guaranteed.

Compounded semaglutide is a once-weekly injection used for weight management in eligible adults, alongside a reduced-calorie diet and more activity. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist and the same active ingredient as Wegovy and Ozempic, which regulates appetite and how full you feel.
It slows how fast your stomach empties, so you feel full sooner and stay full longer. Your dose starts low and steps up over your first months so your body can adapt. Compounded versions are prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy rather than the original drugmaker, and they aren't FDA-approved.
Medication name: Compounded semaglutide
Active ingredient: semaglutide
Drug type: GLP-1 receptor agonist
How it's taken: Once-weekly subcutaneous injection
Regenics takes a clinician-guided approach to chronic weight management. Compounded semaglutide is prescribed when it's medically appropriate, as part of a structured care plan that covers eligibility screening, a dose that steps up over time, and ongoing monitoring.
Licensed providers evaluate whether treatment is indicated, help you manage side effects as your dose increases, and adjust dosing based on how you respond. Care runs as a monthly prescription-only subscription built to support continuity, follow-up, and provider-guided dose adjustments over time.
Eligibility is determined through clinician evaluation rather than automated approval
Care is structured around long-term weight management goals rather than one-time prescribing
Compounded semaglutide dosing follows a structured titration approach, with adjustments based on response and tolerability
Tarzana clinic and telehealth options available
Follow-up appointments support monitoring of side effects and overall treatment response
Your care is managed by the same licensed Regenics providers throughout your treatment. Unlike platforms where patients may see a different provider each time, Regenics is designed to provide continuity of care. They get to know your health history, monitor your progress, adjust your treatment when needed, and provide personalized care every step of the way.

Online consultation and eligibility assessment
Begin with a clinician-led evaluation to determine whether semaglutide is medically appropriate based on your health profile and weight management goals. This review includes BMI criteria, weight-related conditions, prior treatment history, and relevant safety considerations. If treatment is appropriate, your clinician will outline dosing strategy, follow-up cadence, and expectations for monitoring.
A provider reviews and prescribes
If eligible, your Regenics clinician develops a structured care plan that includes gradual dose titration and ongoing monitoring. The plan includes injection scheduling, escalation timing, and individualized guidance designed to support tolerability and adherence. Dose adjustments are made based on clinical response and safety considerations to help maintain consistency over time.
Ongoing monitoring and follow-up support
Care continues through a monthly prescription-only subscription structured to support continuity. Follow-up appointments and clinician-guided dose titration help monitor tolerability, review side effects, and adjust dosing when appropriate. If additional services are recommended beyond the prescription-only subscription, timing and any applicable fees are explained in advance so you can make informed decisions.
These are individual patient experiences, not typical results. Individual results vary.
Semaglutide activates a hormone receptor that helps regulate appetite and increase fullness after meals. It also slows how fast your stomach empties, especially during dose escalation.
Because GI side effects can occur, your dose increases gradually through a structured titration plan. Your licensed clinician sets the starting dose and escalation schedule based on your response and safety.
If Semaglutide isn't the right fit, your Regenics provider can discuss other GLP-1 weight loss medications, including compounded Tirzepatide or brand-name, FDA approved Zepbound. What your provider recommends is based on your medical history and your goals.
