What dose of Personalized Semaglutide will I be prescribed?
Short answer
Your prescribing physician sets your Personalized Semaglutide dose and any dose increases. Follow your prescription label, not a dosing chart from another product. This compounded weekly injection contains semaglutide with pyridoxine. The amount to inject depends on your prescribed dose and the concentration supplied by the pharmacy.
Your prescribing physician decides your starting dose and when to increase it. Personalized Semaglutide is a compounded injection that contains semaglutide with pyridoxine, a form of vitamin B6. It is injected under the skin once weekly as directed. Dose increases are gradual, but your schedule must come from your physician and prescription label.
Do not increase your dose early or use a schedule meant for another semaglutide product. The drug dose, liquid volume, and markings on a syringe are not interchangeable. The amount you draw up depends on the concentration in your vial and the syringe supplied. Check the label each time you receive a refill.
If the instructions are unclear, ask the dispensing pharmacist to explain exactly how much to draw up before injecting. Tell your physician about side effects before your next planned increase. Never calculate a new dose on your own. Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and are not FDA-approved.
