Semaglutide Shots in Herndon, VA
Semaglutide Shots
Core IV Therapy in Herndon, VA offers medically supervised weight loss with compounded semaglutide, given as a once-weekly injection. Treatment starts at 0.25 mg for $80 per shot ($288 for a package of 4) and steps up to 2.4 mg as tolerated. Tirzepatide is also available. Compounded semaglutide is not the same product as brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy. Prescription treatments are provided only after an evaluation by a licensed provider, who decides whether a medication is appropriate for you.
Weight management doesn’t have to feel like an uphill battle. At Core IV Therapy, our Semaglutide shots offer a science-backed solution to support lasting weight loss and improved health. Originally developed and FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, Semaglutide has quickly become one of the most effective tools for appetite control and fat reduction. By slowing gastric emptying and signaling fullness, these once-weekly injections naturally reduce caloric intake while boosting energy, metabolic function, and overall wellness.
What Is a Semaglutide Shot?
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in FDA-approved brand-name medications for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management. When a brand-name product isn’t appropriate for a specific patient’s clinical needs, our providers may prescribe semaglutide compounded by a licensed pharmacy for that individual patient. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality.
At Core IV Therapy, we provide Semaglutide as a once-weekly injection that works by slowing gastric emptying—signaling fullness to your brain, reducing appetite, and lowering caloric intake naturally. This process enables powerful appetite suppression without the use of stimulants. Many patients experience improved blood sugar control, enhanced energy levels, and better overall health outcomes.
To enhance results, we often combine Semaglutide therapy with our Medical Weight-Loss program and supportive Vitamin IV Hydration sessions for optimal hydration and metabolism support.

How Is Compounded Semaglutide Different From Brand-Name Products?
Brand-name semaglutide products are FDA-approved and manufactured to FDA standards. Compounded semaglutide is prepared by a licensed pharmacy for an individual patient under a prescription, and it is not FDA-approved. Our providers discuss both options with you and prescribe a compounded product only when there is a documented clinical reason it is appropriate for you.
