ABOUT SEMAGLUTIDE
Semaglutide is one of the two medications used most often in our practice. See below for a list of detailed information on this medication.
- Semaglutide is a powerful FDA-approved prescription weight loss medication that is taken as a once-a-week nearly painless injection. It is well known and sold under the names Ozempic and Wegovy.
Studies show that most patients lose 15% of their total body weight, nearly 50% lose more than 20%.
Semaglutide works by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP- 1) which is secreted in the gut and targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and satiety (sense of fullness after eating).
- It slows food digestion in the stomach, decreases appetite, diminishes food cravings, and increases feeling of fullness, so you eat less and lose weight.
Lowers blood pressure, blood sugars, and reduces inflammation.
Lowers Hemoglobin A1C levels and enhance the growth of β cells in the pancreas.
Individual results vary and you may not start losing weight until 6 weeks of treatment, although most people see some results sooner.
Treatment starts at a low dose and is increased slowly.
Weight loss is typically a steady 1-4 pounds per week.
