THE MEDICATION
What is semaglutide?
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic. NovaGenix prescribes compounded semaglutide, which is prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy and is not an FDA-approved finished drug product.
Your treatment is prescribed and monitored after a medical evaluation and review of your medications and health history. Semaglutide works by mimicking GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone involved in appetite regulation.
CANDIDACY
Who may be a candidate?
Eligibility is based on more than a number on the scale. Medical history, current medications, goals, risks, and alternatives all matter.
MAY BE CONSIDERED
Common starting criteria
- Adults with a BMI greater than 30
- Adults with a BMI greater than 27 plus a weight-related medical condition
- Patients prepared to pair medication with nutrition, movement, and follow-up
REQUIRES MEDICAL REVIEW
Individual risk factors
A physician should review your health history, medications, prior weight-loss treatment, and potential contraindications before any decision is made.
Review important safety information →THE NOVAGENIX PROCESS
What treatment actually looks like
Semaglutide is a prescription medication—not a program you join by completing an online questionnaire.
Physician evaluation
Meet with Timothy Mackey, D.O., in Jupiter or by eligible Florida telehealth to review history, medications, and goals.
Testing when indicated
Laboratory testing is ordered case by case when an underlying thyroid, hormone, or metabolic issue may be relevant.
Gradual titration
Treatment starts low and is increased gradually based on tolerability and clinical response.
Ongoing monitoring
Follow-up tracks progress, adjusts treatment where appropriate, and addresses side effects early.
Protecting lean muscle is part of the plan. Protein intake, resistance training, hydration, and an appropriate rate of weight loss should be discussed from the start.Read the NovaGenix guide →
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Semaglutide has real benefits—and real risks
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, and abdominal discomfort. They are most likely during the first weeks of treatment and while the dose is being increased.
Anything severe or persistent should be reported promptly rather than waiting for the next scheduled visit.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
Semaglutide or tirzepatide?
Both are once-weekly injectable medications used for weight management, but they act on different pathways.
Semaglutide
Acts on the GLP-1 receptor. The appropriate medication depends on your medical history, other medications, tolerability, cost, and availability.
Tirzepatide
Acts on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. The choice is made during consultation—not before your medical evaluation.
Learn about tirzepatide →Transparent self-pay care
NovaGenix is a self-pay practice and does not bill insurance. There is no single program price because formulations, strengths, testing, and follow-up needs vary.
Your expected cost is explained before treatment begins. Call or text 561-277-8260 to ask about pricing.
Local care, statewide access
NovaGenix is located at 609 North Hepburn Ave, Suite 106, Jupiter, FL 33458. Patients visit from Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, Juno Beach, North Palm Beach, Stuart, and Port St. Lucie.
Telehealth is available to eligible patients elsewhere in Florida.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Is the semaglutide prescribed at NovaGenix FDA-approved?
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic. NovaGenix prescribes compounded semaglutide, which is prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy and is not an FDA-approved finished drug product. Timothy Mackey, D.O., explains what that means at your consultation.
Do I need lab work before starting?
Not always. Testing is decided case by case, based on your history and the treatment being considered. What does not vary is the physician evaluation.
Can my consultation be done by telehealth?
Consultations may be conducted in person in Jupiter or by telehealth when clinically appropriate. Telehealth is available to eligible Florida patients.
Will I regain weight if I stop the medication?
Weight regain can occur after treatment stops. Nutrition, activity, sleep, other medical conditions, and whether continued medication is appropriate are discussed as part of long-term planning.
