How long do semaglutide side effects last?

Semaglutide side effects typically last for a few days to weeks as your body adjusts to the medication. Common side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea usually improve over time. Less common side effects, such as headaches and dizziness, also tend to resolve as you continue the treatment. In rare cases, serious side effects like pancreatitis may require immediate medical attention. Always consult your healthcare provider if side effects persist or worsen.

Can I use my own pharmacy to fill my prescription?

Certainly! Keep in mind that if you decide against using one of our partner e-pharmacies, you'll be responsible for your medication expenses. For more information, please email support@helimeds.com with the subject line "Pharmacy Inquiry."

How do I know what will be prescribed to me?

After completing your medical intake and consultation, your provider will review your specific health needs and condition. Based on this assessment, they will prescribe the most suitable medication for you, if applicable. You'll be fully informed about the prescribed medication before proceeding with your treatment plan.

Is it real medication?

Yes, all medications are made in a State Board of Pharmacy licensed compounding pharmacies, or FDA-licensed 503(b) Outsourcing Facilities.

The medication you may be prescribed is a compounded medication and is not associated with the Novo Nordisk™ company or the brand-name medications Wegovy® or Ozempic®.

Losing weight has always been super hard for me. I tried counting calories and eating better, but nothing worked until I found semaglutide. It made me not think about food all the time. I started eating less, feeling better about myself, going to the gym, and not eating junk food when I was stressed.

Marshall Barajas

I was 274 when I started it, I hit 199 this week. I was thinking this morning, that if there’s one thing I could change, it’s that this would have existed in my 20’s. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy I have it now, but man. The years I struggled with binge eating disorder, hating myself, blaming myself, gaining, losing, gaining, losing… I strongly urge you to try it. It’s been such a game-changer.

Kristin Hester

More than the physical health benefits of my weight loss I’m constantly astounded by how much better I feel mentally. All of my old coworkers have commented on how much happier I seem. My family has noticed my better mental health. But most importantly I have noticed it.

Julissa Mcpherson

Ozempic has been life changing for me. I actually feel full, and not just either hungry or stuffed. I fill up much sooner. I'm not always looking for a snack or thinking about what I'm going to cook or buy for my next meal. I'm not always worried about if I'm eating too much or balancing something I ate that had more calories by trying to restrict myself later. And the weight is coming off steadily. The first month I lost 10lbs, but lately I'm averaging about 1lb a week. Considering how fast I could put it on, I'm happy with that.

Dawson Davila

I started 10 months ago, I was 190. Now I weigh 148 on 1.5- I was an active person my whole life, but I had arthritis in my knees and some other health issues (hypertension etc), and working out became nonexistent. After losing 20, my knees felt better and I started riding the stationary bike and going on 30 min walks in the morning. Now I can full sprint again and my knees don’t hurt anymore. I got off my hypertension meds 3 weeks ago! It’ll feel slow sometimes but just keep doing the little things that you can, little walks etc add up!

It’s incredible how you can do things with ease now….crossing your legs on the couch, getting out of the car in a tight parking spot, not feeling like I’m going to break that plastic chair.
