When the Rules Change, Your Health Journey Doesn’t Have To
If you’ve been using compounded Semaglutide from an online provider for weight loss, recent changes may have left you in limbo.
As of early 2025, online companies like Hers and others have paused or discontinued access to weight loss injections due to updated FDA guidelines—specifically, new requirements for in-person, individualized medical oversight.
If you’re searching for answers after Hers discontinued Semaglutide, know that your care can continue—safely and locally.
At Function Well in Salem, Oregon, we’re here to provide a safe, empowering path forward. Whether you’re continuing treatment or starting fresh, you don’t have to navigate this alone.
What’s Changing with Online Weight Loss Injections?
Recent FDA regulations now require that compounded medications like Semaglutide be prescribed only after an in-person evaluation and tailored medical plan. That means:
- Online-only platforms can no longer prescribe compounded Semaglutide.
- Prescriptions must be based on a licensed provider’s direct evaluation and oversight.
- Patients must have individualized care plans to ensure safety and effectiveness.
While these changes are designed to protect consumers, they’ve left many without access to their medications—often with little notice.
What This Means for You
If you’ve been relying on online prescriptions for weight loss support, you might be asking:
- Can I continue my Semaglutide treatment locally?
- Will I need to start over?
- How do I find a trusted provider near me?
That’s where we come in.

Weight loss varies based on your starting point, lifestyle, and treatment duration. Many patients experience 5–15% body weight reduction over several months, especially when combined with healthy habits and provider support.
What does the Semaglutide shot do?
Semaglutide works by mimicking a natural hormone (GLP-1) that helps regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and reduce appetite. This can lead to feeling full longer and fewer cravings—supporting steady, sustainable weight loss.
What are the side effects of taking Semaglutide?
Some people experience mild side effects like nausea, constipation, or fatigue—especially when starting treatment. These often improve over time. At Function Well, we closely monitor your response and adjust as needed to keep you comfortable and supported.
