Important Safety Information

Thyroid Cancer Risk

In animal studies, semaglutide caused thyroid tumors. While this hasn’t been confirmed in humans, individuals with a personal or family history of thyroid cancer should avoid its use. Watch for symptoms like lumps in the neck, hoarseness, or trouble swallowing.

Other Serious Risks

• Pancreatitis: Severe abdominal pain may indicate inflammation of the pancreas. Seek medical attention immediately.

• Gallbladder Problems: Symptoms like stomach pain, jaundice, or fever may suggest gallstones.

• Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia): Especially in people with diabetes, monitor for dizziness, sweating, or rapid heartbeat.

• Kidney Issues: Dehydration from side effects like vomiting or diarrhea may worsen kidney problems.

• Vision Changes: Report any sudden changes in eyesight if you have type 2 diabetes.

Common Side Effects

• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea

• Constipation or indigestion

• Fatigue or dizziness

• Injection site reactions

Limitations of Use

Compound Semaglutide is not FDA-approved and does not undergo the same rigorous evaluations as FDA-approved medications. It should not be used alongside other GLP-1 receptor agonists or weight-loss medications. Its safety in children under 18 or individuals with pancreatitis is not established.

Before Using Compound Semaglutide

Inform your TriArc RX provider about:

• All medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.

• Medical history, including diabetes, thyroid issues, pancreatitis, or kidney problems.
