Don’t Miss the Semaglutide Wave How Pharmacies Can Thrive With Weight Loss Services

Weight loss will always be a profit point all pharmacies should focus on. Now, with the recent craze with semaglutide, you have a better chance than ever to bring in new customers and increase revenue without PBMs. The GLP-1 medication has become a widespread weight loss treatment everyone wants to get their hands on. It’s time to strike while the iron is hot! With semaglutide alone, you can create an entire clinic, hire doctors and pharmacists, and bring in patients. This opportunity can seem overwhelming, but it is entirely possible. At our summit, we featured Sean Knight from Achieve Weight Loss & Wellness, who can help you step-be-step to set up your own clinic. With simple marketing like social media posting and ads, you’ll have a roster of patients in no time. If you’d like to start slow, your pharmacy can still emphasize serving these semaglutide patients. There is so much you can offer these patients, all without the interference of PBMs.

• Provide recommended supplements for semaglutide patients (Approved Medical Solutions or Nudora)

• Offer weight loss coaching to pair with semaglutide use (Dr. Mark Nelson has turnkey solutions: mjnelsonmd7@gmail.com)

• Highlight the Rx and OTC weight loss medications you do carry

And plenty more!

Whatever you do, just make sure you don’t let this trend pass you by. There will always be a need for weight loss medicines, and semaglutide is a popular choice now. You will miss out on new patients and even lose your own if you don’t prioritize semaglutide and weight loss treatments. Even if your pharmacy can’t make semaglutide, you can still support those patients to capture some of the profits. Just do something! You can participate in countless ways, and it’s up to your pharmacy’s unique resources and team to decipher what strategies will work best. Shift your marketing focus toward weight loss and watch as your clientele grows. As always, social media, signage, and other marketing tactics can help you advertise your pharmacy’s weight loss supplements, medications, and other treatments.
