2 What Are the Benefits of Semaglutide
Eli Lilly Lilly has stated it has "no data on the benefits or risks of microdosing tirzepatide" and does not recommend the practice
While semaglutide has shown great success in many clinical trials, it does not work the same for every person, and some experience side effects that make it difficult to continue treatment
For patients that continue to use a compounded GLP-1, we are urging that they actively engage with their healthcare professional so they can assess any unexpected impacts and make sure they are diligently reporting any adverse effects
Blood pressure management, dietary sodium reduction, and avoidance of excessive NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) further protect kidney health while on semaglutide
A few evidence-supported options include a high-quality multivitamin (reduced food intake means reduced micronutrient intake), a fiber supplement if constipation develops, a probiotic to support gut health during the digestive adjustment, and ginger supplements for nausea management
