What Is Compounded Semaglutide?
​​
Semaglutide is presently only available as prescription brand name products, Wegovy® and Ozempic®*. Compounded semaglutide belongs to the same class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. Individuals may be prescribed compounded semaglutide for various reasons, such as requiring a unique formulation, facing insurance denial for brand name coverage, seeking cost savings, or experiencing a local drug shortage.
​
What Sets Us Apart?

We also provide in depth check ups and weekly injections for individuals. No online sign up without having access to a knowledgable team! We will track your weight loss progress with before and after photos so you can see the changes.
​
When Is It Prescribed?
​
Your Skën Spa medical provider will evaluate your eligibility based on your medical questionnaire, blood panel and discuss your compounded GLP-1 medication options. Compounded semaglutide may be prescribed based on your personal weight loss needs. Individuals may be prescribed compounded semaglutide for various reasons, such as requiring a unique formulation, facing insurance denial for brand name coverage, seeking cost savings, or experiencing a local drug shortage.
​
Is Compounded Semaglutide Covered By Insurance?
​
Compounded semaglutide medication is not covered by insurance, but Skën Spa provides affordable pricing options to ensure your weight loss goals stay within reach. Often, compounded semaglutide medication will be up to 85% less than the retail price of the name brand FDA-approved GLP-1 medications like Ozempic® and Wegovy®.
