Weekly provider visits, in-office administration, and individualized dose review with medication included. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved finished drug products.
Safety & candidacy
Your Rivas provider evaluates you at your first visit and makes the determination. The information below offers general context about who this treatment may fit.
Common side effects
Side effects and their frequency vary by medication and patient. Your provider will review risks, contraindications, and medication interactions during your evaluation.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps reduce appetite. The patient experience depends on how carefully treatment is introduced, monitored, and adjusted over time.
Rivas sources compounded semaglutide from U.S.-licensed 503A compounding pharmacies. In the clinic program, the provider prepares and administers vial-based medication, reviews response each week, and can hold or adjust the plan according to tolerability and progress.
Vial-based medication allows smaller, gradual provider-directed changes based on week-to-week response.
Your Options
A provider administers vial-based medication in-office and checks vitals and response each week.
Wegovy is brand-name semaglutide approved for chronic weight management in eligible adults.
Your response is not just a number on the scale. Weekly conversations can account for sleep, stress, routines, side effects, and goals while your provider helps plan for maintenance and reduced rebound risk. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.
Every visit includes your provider consultation, medication, in-office injection, vitals, and dose adjustment — all in one price. No pharmacy. No surprises.
