GLP-1 medications have the potential to reduce sleep apnea symptoms, offering significant health benefits in addition to weight management. Despite these advantages, many hesitate to try GLP-1s due to various concerns. Let’s explore the top five reasons for this reluctance and explanations to address each concern.
1. Cost and Insurance Coverage
The biggest concern about GLP-1s that we hear from our customers is the price. Compounded semaglutide is actually more affordable than its branded counterparts, especially for those without insurance coverage for the latter. While compounded medications might not always be covered by insurance, the lower price point makes it more accessible.
At Easy Breathe, we have an affordable first step to see if GLP-1s are right for you. For just $80, you can have a personalized consultation with one of our qualified healthcare providers. This is a cost-effective way to explore your options without any commitment.
If you qualify for GLP-1 medications, you can start your first month of compounded semaglutide for only $119. That’s compared to $1,000+ for Ozempic, which has the same active ingredients!
2. Personal Health Concerns
As with any new medication, it is important to consider that individual health conditions may impact the suitability of compounded semaglutide.
Every patient is unique, and personalized medical advice is crucial. Compounded semaglutide can be customized to your specific health requirements, offering a level of personalization that standard brand name GLP-1s may not provide. Discussing health concerns and weight loss goals with your assigned healthcare provider during your initial consult will help determine if compounded semaglutide or other GLP-1 medications are suitable for you.
3. Public Perception and Stigma
Compounded medications can sometimes carry a stigma due to misconceptions about their safety and efficacy. Learning about the rigorous standards and personalized care involved in compounding can help dispel these myths.
Compounded semaglutide offers a tailored solution, often unavailable with mass-produced medications. While FDA approval ensures standardization, compounded medications are tailored to meet individual patient needs. Compounded semaglutide is formulated by licensed pharmacists who follow stringent guidelines to ensure safety and efficacy, offering a customized approach to treatment.
4. Side Effects and Risks
All medications have potential side effects, and semaglutide is no exception. However, compounded semaglutide’s side effects are similar to those of their branded counterparts, which are FDA-approved versions.
By working closely with your healthcare provider and monitoring your response to the medication, you can easily manage any side effects safely and effectively. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals is here to support you every step of the way.

5. Limited Clinical Research
The active ingredient, semaglutide, is well-researched and has demonstrated effectiveness in numerous studies. The compounding process does not alter the fundamental properties of semaglutide, ensuring you receive the benefits documented in clinical research.
In addition to managing weight loss, emerging research suggests GLP-1s can also play a role in mitigating sleep apnea symptoms. Recent studies found that Ozempic can positively impact sleep apnea symptoms. A daily dose for four weeks led to 70% of sleep apnea patients experiencing a reduction of approximately 20 sleep apnea events per hour.1
