Physician-guided weight care
Medication is one part of a thoughtful, long-term plan.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication that can reduce appetite and slow digestion. For chronic weight management, FDA-approved semaglutide is administered as a once-weekly injection for eligible adults alongside nutrition and physical activity.
At Nuderma, treatment starts with a medical evaluation. Dr. Spencer reviews your history, goals, current medications, and relevant risks before determining whether semaglutide—or another approach—may be appropriate.
How it supports weight management
Designed to work with the body’s appetite signals.
Appetite
Mimics the GLP-1 hormone and acts on areas of the brain involved in hunger and eating behavior.
Fullness
Slows stomach emptying, which can help fullness last longer after eating.
Consistency
A once-weekly schedule supports an ongoing plan that is monitored and adjusted over time.

Common questions
Semaglutide, explained.
How is semaglutide administered?+
Semaglutide used for chronic weight management is given as a once-weekly injection. Your prescriber explains the specific product, dose, injection technique, and schedule.
How much weight will I lose?+
There is no guaranteed amount. Response varies with the medication, dose, time, health factors, nutrition, activity, adherence, and individual biology.
Is semaglutide safe?+
It is not appropriate for everyone and can cause common and serious adverse effects. Dr. Spencer reviews contraindications, warnings, interactions, and your personal risk before prescribing.
What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?+
Semaglutide acts on the GLP-1 receptor. Tirzepatide acts on both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. The best choice depends on medical history, goals, tolerability, access, and physician judgment.
Do I need a prescription?+
Yes. Semaglutide is a prescription medication and requires evaluation and ongoing medical oversight.
Is compounded semaglutide FDA-approved?+
No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as standalone products. They may be prescribed for an individual patient when permitted and clinically appropriate, subject to current law and guidance.
How long will I stay on treatment?+
Chronic weight management often requires ongoing planning. Duration and any maintenance strategy are individualized and should be decided with the prescriber.
