SEMAGLUTIDE WAIVER
Women of childbearing potential are encouraged to use contraception during SEMAGLUTIDE therapy; if pregnancy is desired, stop treatment at least 2 months prior to a planned pregnancy due to its long washout period. ALERT the doctor if you suspect that you are pregnant Semaglutide could present a risk to the fetus.
I recognize the potential risks and benefits of these procedures as described below:
Potential benefits: Restoration of health and the body’s maximum functional capacity without the use of drugs or surgery, relief of pain and symptoms of disease, assistance in injury and disease recovery, and prevention of disease or its progression.
Potential risks: Allergic reactions to prescribed medications, herbs and supplements, side effects of natural medications, inconvenience of lifestyle changes, injury from injections, venipunctures or procedures, tenderness/soreness or bruising from physical treatments.
COMMON SIDE EFFECTS of GLP-1/Semaglutide Constipation, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Hypoglycemia, Injection site reaction, Nausea, Vomiting, Abdominal pain, Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) Dizziness, Eructation, Fatigue, Headache, Anorexia. Not recommended for anyone with severe kidney or pancreas issues*, diabetic retinopathy nor patients with severe GI disease (e.g., Crohn's disease, gastroparesis, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis) nor pregnant/breastfeeding. *Semaglutide has rarely caused a very serious (possibly fatal) disease of the pancreas (pancreatitis).
Get medical help right away if you develop symptoms of pancreatitis, including: severe stomach/abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting that doesn't stop. Semaglutide injection may increase the risk that you will develop tumors of the thyroid gland, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC; a type of thyroid cancer). Laboratory animals who were given Semaglutide developed tumors, but it is not known if this medication increases the risk of tumors in humans. Tell your doctor if you or anyone in your family has or has ever had MTC or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2; condition that causes tumors in more than one gland in the body). If so, your doctor will probably tell you not to use Semaglutide injection.
I fully understand and accept responsibility for the situation that certain health risk and/or conditions might arise due to the contraindications of the use of GLP-1. (Parent/Guardian sign if Minor) *

In the case of any pregnant mother, the term “patient” herein shall mean both the mother and the mother’s expected child or children.

ARTICLE 3: Procedures and Applicable Law: A demand for arbitration must be communicated in writing by U.S. mail, postage prepaid to all parties, describing the claim against Physician, the amount of damages south, and the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the patient and (if applicable) his/her attorney.

Both parties agree the arbitration shall be governed pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) 12-1501-12-1518 and the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C 1-4) and that they have the absolute right to arbitrate separately the issue of liability and damages upon written request to the arbitrator. The parties shall bear their own costs, fees, and expenses, along with a pro rata share of the neutral arbitrator’s fees and expenses.
