Important Safety Information
Important Safety Information Regarding Compounded Semaglutide Products
Please be aware that compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and do not undergo clinical studies to evaluate for safety and efficacy, similar to FDA-approved commercially available products. Compounded products may still be legally prescribed, and your healthcare provider may issue you a prescription for compounded semaglutide based on your medical consultation. Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used for chronic weight management, along with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity, for people with an initial body mass index (BMI) of: 30 kg/m2 or greater (obesity) or 27 kg/m2 or greater (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbid condition (e.g., hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or dyslipidemia).
Speak with your healthcare provider to see if semaglutide may be right for you.
Semaglutide may cause serious side effects, including: Possible thyroid tumors, including cancer. Tell your healthcare provider if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath. These may be symptoms of thyroid cancer. In studies with rodents, semaglutide caused thyroid tumors, including thyroid cancer. It is not known if semaglutide will cause thyroid tumors or a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in humans.
Who should not use semaglutide:
- Do not use semaglutide if you or any family member has ever had a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or if you have an endocrine system condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
- Do not use semaglutide if you have had a serious allergic reaction to semaglutide in the past.
- Before starting semaglutide, tell your healthcare provider if you have any other medical conditions, including if you:
- Have or have had problems with your pancreas or kidneys.
- Have a history of diabetic retinopathy (an eye problem related to diabetes).
- Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Semaglutide should not be used during pregnancy and there may be potential risks to an unborn baby from exposure to semaglutide during pregnancy. You should stop using semaglutide for at least 2 months before you plan to become pregnant.

Tell your healthcare provider if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath. These may be symptoms of thyroid cancer. In studies with rodents, semaglutide caused thyroid tumors, including thyroid cancer. It is not known if semaglutide will cause thyroid tumors or a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in humans.
- Paralysis of the stomach (gastroparesis). The symptoms of gastroparesis may include feeling full shortly after starting a meal, feeling full long after eating a meal, nausea, and vomiting. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any of these symptoms.

Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar may include dizziness or light-headedness, blurred vision, anxiety, irritability or mood changes, sweating, slurred speech, hunger, confusion or drowsiness, shakiness, weakness, headache, fast heartbeat, or feeling jittery. Talk to your healthcare provider about how to recognize and treat low blood sugar and check your blood sugar before you start and while you take semaglutide.

Important Safety Information Mechanism of Action: Semaglutide is a synthetic glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that belongs to a class of drugs called incretin mimetics. Incretins are a type of hormone that stimulate a decrease in blood glucose levels, such as GLP-1 that binds to and activates the GLP-1 receptor. GLP-1 works to regulate ones appetite and caloric intake, and the GLP-1 receptor is present in several areas of your body, including areas in your brain responsible for appetite regulation. Semaglutide, as an agonist, binds to the GLP-1 receptor and works to lower blood glucose by stimulating insulin secretion and to inhibit glucagon release.
Adverse Reactions: Semaglutide is associated with GI adverse reactions, including nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, abdominal distention, eructation, flatulence, gastroenteritis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. It has also been associated with causing headache, fatigue, dizziness, and hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes. Please discuss with your physician the contraindications and other warning and precautions before starting Semaglutide.

About Hair Loss
Understanding Hair Loss
Hair loss can result from a range of factors, including genetics, hormonal shifts, medical conditions, nutritional deficiencies, stress, or certain medications. The most common type, androgenetic alopecia (also known as male pattern baldness), is hereditary and often progresses with age. Other causes may include autoimmune conditions, thyroid imbalances, or sudden lifestyle changes like rapid weight loss.
Some forms of hair loss are temporary, while others may require medical treatment. Identifying the underlying cause is the first step. At iVisitDoc, licensed providers can help evaluate your symptoms and create a personalized treatment plan that works for you.
What type of hair loss am I experiencing?
Some types of hair loss—like a receding hairline or gradual thinning—can be easily recognized as male pattern baldness. This is a common, inherited condition that tends to worsen over time but can be managed with treatment.
Other types of hair loss, especially if they appear suddenly or in patches, may point to an underlying issue such as a nutritional deficiency, autoimmune condition, or medication side effect. These cases often require a medical evaluation to identify the root cause.
If you're unsure what’s causing your hair loss, a licensed provider at iVisitDoc can help assess your symptoms and recommend the best course of action—whether it's treatment, testing, or both.
What Treatments Are Available for Hair Loss?
The right treatment depends on the cause of hair loss, but for male pattern baldness, FDA-approved options like Minoxidil (a topical solution) and Finasteride (an oral medication) are commonly prescribed. Minoxidil works by stimulating hair regrowth, while Finasteride helps prevent further loss by blocking the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles.
Other options may include hair transplants, nutritional supplements, or supportive hair care products. If hair loss is due to an underlying issue—like stress, nutrient deficiency, or a medical condition—treating the root cause is essential.
A licensed provider at iVisitDoc can help determine the right approach based on your individual needs and hair loss pattern.
Does Finasteride Have Side Effects?
As with all medications, finasteride can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Possible side effects may include sexual side effects (such as decreased libido, erection or ejaculation issues), mood changes, skin reactions, breast tenderness, or testicular discomfort. If any side effects persist, become bothersome, or are severe, talk to your provider. If you have signs of an allergic reaction like difficulty breathing or hives, seek immediate medical help.
Your iVisitDoc provider can help answer further questions about potential side effects and guide you safely through your treatment plan.
Can Hair Loss Be Permanently Cured?
While there's currently no permanent cure for hair loss, there are clinically proven treatments that can significantly slow hair thinning and stimulate new hair growth. It's important to approach hair loss management as an ongoing treatment process rather than a quick fix. At iVisitDoc, licensed providers can help you explore evidence-based treatment options tailored specifically to you.
