South Carolina residents can find out whether semaglutide or tirzepatide is a fit through a short telehealth visit. A clinician makes the call based on your health history, and prescriptions follow South Carolina telehealth and pharmacy rules before medication ships to your address in the state.

What semaglutide does in the body
Semaglutide copies GLP-1, a gut hormone released after meals. It quiets hunger signals in the brain, keeps food in the stomach longer and helps the pancreas respond to blood sugar, which for many people means feeling full on less food.
Brand-name semaglutide comes as Wegovy, approved for chronic weight management, and as Ozempic and Rybelsus, approved for type 2 diabetes. A compounded version made by licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies is another choice; compounded drugs are not FDA-approved.
