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.
Wegovy contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps reduce appetite, slows gastric emptying, and signals fullness. It is an FDA-approved finished prescription product for chronic weight management in adults who meet its clinical criteria.
Rivas provides the medical supervision rather than simply writing a prescription. Your provider reviews your health, manages the prescription, and follows your progress at monthly visits. Medication is filled and paid for separately through a pharmacy or NovoCare.
Patients who are already taking Wegovy can bring their current dose information. The provider reviews their history, response, and tolerability and, when clinically appropriate, continues or adjusts their care without automatically restarting treatment.
Monthly appointments review vitals, weight trends, symptoms, and goals—not just the prescription.
Your options
Wegovy is manufacturer-supplied semaglutide available by prescription for adults who meet clinical criteria.
A provider administers the compounded medication during regular in-office visits when it is clinically appropriate and available.
Progress can flatten as the body adapts to weight loss. At monthly visits, your provider looks at medication response alongside protein intake, activity, hydration, sleep, and stress, then determines whether the plan should change. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.
Your Rivas visit covers the prescription and clinical care. The medication is purchased separately at your pharmacy or through NovoCare.
