I had great success on Wegovy and lost 60 pounds. I am 4ft 10in and 60 extra pounds on me is quite a bit. That being said, I retired and Medicare does not cover weight loss meds so I went off it and immediately gained half of it back despite gym and walking routine. My MD ordered the compounded medication for me and I will be starting back soon for 170.00 per month. I am so glad to have this resource. Your video was very informative. Wish me luck.
And or do you know of any where I can get compounded online but where I can actually have face-to-face video visits with the doctor regularly to deal with any potential side effects? Thanks so much
Thank you for the very informative video. I just had an appointment with my doctor today asking some of these questions. They won’t prescribe that way but was not objecting for me to find it on my own safely. I wanted to know about it in pill form. What are your thoughts and suggestions to find it safely. Thanks you. Brian.
@@adammorra3813 I just took my first injection of trezepitide. Henry Meds has been great to work with. The meds came quickly and the NP I spoke with took all the time I needed to answer all my questions. My first injection was last Sunday, today is Wednesday. I’m down 2 lbs, probably water but I’ll take it.
@@ChristyRisingerMDIt seems that you did go through the comments and answered questions, however, many of these questions were asked months ago and your answers were posted in the last 24 hours. I’m sure your schedule is packed, but people who are resorting to taking these meds are, many times, at their wits end and are now doing their due diligence in researching. My suggestion for the future would be to follow up in more timely manner. Again, I’m sure you are a very busy person, but part of the responsibility in posting these types of videos is to be prepared to answer questions.
@@violetpotter1111 I don't know this Doc from atom, but she has no responsibility to answer any questions from you, me or anyone else for that matter. She's posting an informative video, no where did she say she would take the time to respond. The level of entitlement is mind blowing.
YES, she does have a responsibility, as a “doctor,” to answer questions. If you put yourself out to the public promoting this type of information, be prepared to answer questions. THAT IS NOT ASKING TOO MUCH and if you think it is, then you choose to be poorly informed. Calm down.
I just signed up for this, through my Weight Watchers Membership. I sure hope they use a good pharmacy! I start next week. I did have to use a nurse and complete questions…I have a team that contacts me, and is available to me
I read just in August 2024 that these drugs have been taken off the shortage list, is it true then we won’t be able to get a prescription from a compound pharmacy? I’m now visiting Peru South America and they offer the GLP injectables here for just over $200/mo. Thank you doctor for helping provide affordable meds!!!
Do you have any tips on finding reputable prescribers for compounded terzepatide? I have a zepbound prescription, but my insurance won’t cover it. I was thinking of trying compounded before I spend $700 out of pocket. TYIA!
Thank you so much for the information. I’m currently taking semaglutide and it’s been great, but it is quite expensive. I’ve come across a brand called HIMS and was wondering about your opinion on it. I’m definitely looking for a more affordable option, but I understand that quality is important. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Hi Dr. Risinger. I looked on that website and I’m not able to find the pharmacy my Dr. sent my prescription to. Can you please tell me if you know of RX Harmony? Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing. My friend just started Semaglutide but I think she got it online--not sure of all the details. I am assuming this is not a safe way to get this drug.
I'm surprised you didn't mention looking for pcab accreditation. (Pharmacy compounding accreditation board.) Do you think this is a useful credential to check in a compounding pharmacy?
Enjoy it while you can. Within a year it will not be available - legally - within about a year. Once the name brand can meet production - patents will prevent copies from being made. We may all be paying $1300 a month or going to China.
My doctor has a "$100 processing fee" to prescribe this. Doctor's visit, bloodwork, all other cost are factored in when you pay at end of visit. But if you got Semaglutide prescribed, it's an extra 100$ fee. I thought that was a little weird, but I need to lose weight... here I am looking at your video after searching "best way to use and how does it work."
My doctor has prescribed this for me but prescribed it has a sublingual version. It is through my local compounding pharmacy. I’m trying to get past the taste 😅
I am taking a compounded semaglutide. I went online through a company called Sunrise. Rx: 0.5mg dose: Semaglutide/B12 (1mg/0.5mg)/mL, 2.5 mL vial. Empower

Where are you getting it from $170?

$170 where are you ordering from ?
Yes where is it from?
Seasme is 250 a month
Just realized I've been saying Semaglutide wrong. Lol! Thanks for this video!
Were you saying it sema-glue-tide like me??😂😂😂
Me too. 😂
@@thedukeparty I was! lol
Same! 😂

I have a feeling that semaglutide cost like $10 in other countries. US is infamous for capitalizing off of anything.

Hello there! Thank you for this information!! Is LegitScript a valid resource? Have you heard of Henry MD?
I have not heard of any of them so I cannot comment. Sorry! Thanks for watching.

Was the compound semaglutide part of the membership fee or did you have to pay extra for it?
@ yes.
Right now it’s 149.00 for the first month , and then it goes up to 229.00. I signed up for 6 months.
@@debjhI didn't go the same route but I start on Thursday and it's the same cost.
I'm starting next
Week through WW. How are you guys doing?
In other countries semaglutide costs $5 for a rx. It costs under 85 cents to produce so everybody is getting ripped big in the US.
Not surprised at all. 😡
@@StopSelfDoubting Wish I had friends in Europe to get it cheap.
Just another example of Americans subsidizing the rest of the world.
Can you recommend doctor in LA who can prescribe compounded?

@@ChristyRisingerMDwho you recommend
Who prescribed it to you?
Got prescribed by my doctor and did my first shot yesterday. No side effects so far.
How are you feeling now? Have you lost any weight?
@@rishatenae5323 no side effects. Lost 4 pounds the first week.
Hi Dr. Risinger. I looked on that website and I’m not able to find the pharmacy my Dr. sent my prescription to. Can you please tell me if you know of RX Harmony? Thank you so much.
I haven’t heard of that pharmacy.
What does compounding mean?
Can i take a tablespoon of pysillum husk powder a day with Semaglutide?
Thank you for sharing. My friend just started Semaglutide but I think she got it online--not sure of all the details. I am assuming this is not a safe way to get this drug.
It really depends - BeSafeRx is a good resource to look into the safety of pharmacies. But if it is too good to be true, it is probably fake.
I'm surprised you didn't mention looking for pcab accreditation. (Pharmacy compounding accreditation board.)
Do you think this is a useful credential to check in a compounding pharmacy?
Any credentialing is always helpful. BeSafeRx is another good resource. Thanks for watching!
What is the dosage covered by $300/mo? Thank you for this very informative video.
The cost will vary depending on where you get it and the strength of the dose you’re using.
Enjoy it while you can. Within a year it will not be available - legally - within about a year. Once the name brand can meet production - patents will prevent copies from being made. We may all be paying $1300 a month or going to China.
True but more glp1s going on the market and will drive prices lower
I think once the market is flooed with options it may even become over the counter.
Hey , doctor how effective is doxylamine in tenesmus ? I feel continous bowl urgues through out the day ?🤛🤩 And if yes what should be the dose ?
Hi there - thanks for watching. I am a medical doctor, but I am not YOUR medical doctor. So please go talk with your doc in person

That’s great. Unfortunately I can’t see my doctor until January. I can lose 30 lbs by then.
*sees Texas* are you in Houston by chance because I am looking for a new Dr? 😅
👍
These GLP-1 peptides are being made easily in China for pennies a vial. Shame what they charge at the cash register end.
Do you lose weight with compound?
Yes
Yes.
@@ChristyRisingerMDwe’re can I get affordable compounded weight loss? Any recommendations?
@gabbyportillo9414 Your first step is to go see you doctor.
Is Empower pharmacy ok?
That’s who I get it from…
Empower uses Cyanocobalamin👎🏼 It is a synthetic or man-made form of vitamin B12
Me too
Can you lose weight by staying on .25 or possibly .50?

Absolutely. Each person is very different in their response.

The drug is NOT in a shortage - the PENS are - hence why compound pharmacies are able to do this currently. Research - again more mis-information.
Now I know how to pronounce it!!
Wow, she should take this video down considering all the problems that have come up with the compounded versions
What kind of problems?
