YupMD Oral Semaglutide Weight Loss Program
A needle-free approach to powerful, sustainable weight loss.
How is the program?
YupMD’s oral semaglutide program offers the same weight loss benefits as weekly injections — but in a convenient once-daily tablet. It’s a great option for individuals who want GLP-1 support without needles, delivered through a seamless virtual care experience.
Here’s what’s included:
- Personalized Treatment Plan
A licensed YupMD provider reviews your health history and goals, then prescribes an oral GLP-1 regimen tailored to your needs. - Monthly Medication Delivery
Your compounded semaglutide tablets are shipped directly to your door — no insurance, no pharmacy visits required. - Simple Daily Dosing
Just take one tablet per day, as directed. No injections or refrigeration necessary. - Ongoing Virtual Support
Your provider stays connected through regular check-ins and unlimited messaging to monitor progress and adjust your dose as needed.
How Oral Semaglutide Supports Weight Loss
- Craving and Appetite Control
The medication targets GLP-1 receptors in your brain and gut, helping reduce hunger signals and control emotional eating. - Slowed Digestion
Food moves more slowly through your system, keeping you full longer and reducing overall caloric intake. - Improved Blood Sugar Regulation
By enhancing insulin response and reducing post-meal glucose spikes, semaglutide supports a more balanced metabolism. - Daily Hormonal Support
Oral dosing provides consistent, steady-state activation of GLP-1 pathways for round-the-clock appetite control.
Frequently Asked Questions
You’ll complete a quick medical intake and speak with a provider via telehealth. If eligible, you’ll receive monthly shipments of oral semaglutide with regular follow-ups and support from the YupMD team.
Is this the same as Ozempic® or Wegovy®?
It uses the same active ingredient: semaglutide. Instead of an injectable form, this version is compounded into a daily tablet using absorption-enhancing techniques to help it work effectively without a needle.
How much weight can I lose?
Most patients lose 10–15% of their starting weight over time, with consistent use. Results depend on adherence, lifestyle, and how your body responds to treatment.
Where is the medication made?
Your tablets are compounded by certified U.S.-based pharmacies that meet strict safety, sterility, and quality standards. Every shipment is reviewed and approved by your YupMD provider.
How do I take it?
Oral semaglutide is taken once per day, typically on an empty stomach. Your provider will give detailed instructions to maximize absorption and minimize side effects.
Can I switch from injections to oral?
Yes — many patients switch from injectable to oral semaglutide. Your provider can help determine whether a transition makes sense for you based on your current dosage and goals.
Safety Information
While oral semaglutide is safe and effective for many individuals, you should be aware of key precautions:
- Do not use if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2 syndrome.
- May cause gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, or heartburn, especially during the first few weeks.
- Should be used cautiously in combination with other diabetes medications due to risk of low blood sugar.
- Must be taken exactly as directed to ensure proper absorption.
- Speak to your provider before starting if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive.
Always follow your provider’s guidance and report any persistent or severe side effects immediately
