If you’ve tried unsuccessfully to shed weight by exercising more often, restricting calories, and consuming a healthier diet, you may need a medical weight-loss solution. At Rejuvime Medical, we offer semaglutide, a breakthrough weight-loss medication that belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, for women and men in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Metairie, and other locations in Louisiana and Mississippi. This medically monitored weight loss treatment can help you reduce hunger, lose stubborn weight, and feel more confident.
Semaglutide, like tirzapatide, is the active ingredient in insulin management medications prescribed to treat people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. One of the side effects diabetic patients notice while taking semaglutide is significant weight loss. That’s because it mimics the body’s own natural appetite-suppressing hormone and improves your ability to regulate blood sugar levels. Semaglutide helps with weight loss by reducing hunger and stabilizing blood sugar.
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
We offer affordable pricing and convenient options for patients seeking medically monitored weight loss, making medically monitored weight loss medications a popular treatment option for patients seeking weight management at our clinics. You can learn more details about the cost of compounded semaglutide on Our VIP Plans page.
Semaglutide’s benefits extend beyond weight loss and feeling more confident in your appearance. Those benefits include lower blood pressure and reduced total cholesterol and triglyceride levels. These improvements not only contribute to your overall health but also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and other illnesses.
The Endocrine Society, whose members include scientists and physicians dedicated to hormone research and treatment for hormone-related conditions, says studies have shown that weight loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide improve body composition by reducing excess body fat and increasing the proportion of lean body mass.
According to a 2020 report from Trust for America’s Health, 4 in 10 American adults meet the criteria of obesity, while statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that 37.3 million Americans have diabetes.
“Compounded” indicates a drug that is custom-made by a specialty compounding pharmacy. Rejuvime Medical offers compounded semaglutide with vitamin B12 (not the salt form of semaglutide) and tirzepatide to help patients lose weight while promoting the health of the metabolism, red blood cells, and nerves. One of the top compounding pharmacies in the U.S. makes our proprietary medications using semaglutide and tirzepatide sourced from an NABP-accredited manufacturer.
When used as directed by a qualified healthcare professional, semaglutide and tirzepatide are safe and effective for weight loss. It’s important to discuss any concerns or issues you may have with your provider after starting semaglutide or tirzepatide treatments.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, while tirzepatide activates dual pathways as both GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonists. Studies show that the GIP hormone can further impact insulin management and feelings of fullness. However, researchers are still studying whether tirzepatide offers more weight loss benefits than semaglutide. During your consultation, we’ll guide you toward the medication and treatment plan that best addresses your weight loss needs.
Clinical studies, including one conducted in 2021 and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, show that people typically regain much of their weight after stopping weight loss treatments such as semaglutide. An increase in appetite and caloric intake occurs fairly soon after stopping these medications.
A 2024 study, however, showed that people who exercised while using a weight loss drug kept off far more of their weight after quitting the medication than people who didn’t work out, and they maintained more muscle.
The most common side effects of semaglutide are gastrointestinal issues, such as nausea and diarrhea. These side effects typically go away over time as the body adjusts to the medication. Serious side effects are rare. If you experience any side effects while taking our medically monitored weight loss medications, you should contact Rejuvime Medical or your primary care physician.
We proudly partner with a pharmacy accredited by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP) for compounding pharmacy practices. Its high standards align with our goal of providing safe and effective treatments.
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that participants lost an average of 15% of their body weight over more than a year, with more than one-third of the study participants losing more than 20%.
If semaglutide or tirzepatide doesn’t help someone lose weight, it could be because the dose is low. We help manage and fine-tune dosages to ensure patients see the benefits of their weight loss medications. Take our quiz to learn more about whether you can benefit from semaglutide.
Health care professionals believe semaglutide and tirzepatide are destroyed in the infant’s gastrointestinal tract, so the baby probably can’t absorb the drugs. However, we do not recommend using these medications while breastfeeding.
Semaglutide and tirzapatide are injected into the fat of the upper arm, thigh, or abdomen once every seven days.
There are no studies that evaluate the safety of drinking alcohol while using semaglutide or tirzepatide. Because these medications lower blood sugar, you should discuss with a medical professional whether it’s OK to have an occasional drink. Because alcohol contributes to weight gain, drinking may reduce the effectiveness of semaglutide and tirzepatide.
