Sublingual Semaglutide is a groundbreaking new treatment option for patients suffering from type-2 diabetes, and, under certain conditions, for weight management in patients with or without diabetes.
As a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, Semaglutide mimics the incretin hormones in the body, enhancing insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, suppressing inappropriate glucagon secretion, and slowing gastric emptying to promote satiety and reduce appetite.
Step 1: Use the Order Form
To get started prescribing sublingual semaglutide, download the Sublingual Semaglutide Order Form and print it out.
Step 2: Fill in Patient Information
On the New Prescription Order Form - Semaglutide order form, fill in your patient information section, making sure that all of the information is up-to-date and a correct phone number so we can contact the patient about their treatment plan.
Step 3: Fill in Prescriber Information
After filling out the patient information, fill out your prescriber information in the section below it.
Step 4: Select Dose/Formula to Prescribe
For new patients, we recommend starting with the target dose of 0.25mg, since the half-life of Semaglutide is 5-7 days and we are trying to minimize side effects.
If a dose is ineffective, increase the dosage by 0.25mg to the next stage until an effective dose is found.
Here is a simple treatment roadmap for you to follow for your patients:
As you can see, you begin by prescribing 0.5 mg/mL Sublingual Semaglutide 0.5 mL qw x 4w, and if not effective, increase dose to 1 mL qw x 4w, and so on.
If there are no side effects and that dose is effective, continue with that strength and dose.
If there are side effects, stop treatment and re-evaluate.
Step 4: Fill out Pharmacy Name and Fax Number
Next, fill out the pharmacy name as Bayview Pharmacy, and the fax number as (401) 284-4506.
Step 5: Fax Order Form to 401-284-4506
Finally, fax the prescription order form to our pharmacy at (401) 284-4506 and we will contact the patient, go over the prescription as well as pricing and shipping/pick-up.
That's it! You've successfully Prescribed Sublingual Semaglutide for your patient.
