What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus. It has been approved by the FDA for weight loss, to lower blood sugar levels, and to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke in certain patients. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist that increases insulin release, lowers the amount of glucagon released, delays gastric emptying, and reduces appetite.

FAQs:

Q. How does semaglutide work?

A. Semaglutide works by mimicking a hormone in your body that regulates appetite. It effectively targets areas of your brain that control hunger and satiety, helping you feel less hungry and fuller after eating. Users administer it through a weekly injection, and it is most effective when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Q. What is it like to be on semaglutide?

A. Being on Semaglutide typically reduces hunger and causes significant weight loss over time. Some initial side effects may include nausea and abdominal discomfort, but these usually subside as the body adjusts.

Q. How will I know how to administer semaglutide?

A. Our expert providers will guide you on how to self-administer the injections of the medication, which you will do once a week. They'll also provide support and guidance on lifestyle modifications, including diet and exercise, to complement your treatment.

Q. Is there any recovery period after administering semaglutide?

A. Since Semaglutide is a non-surgical treatment, there's no downtime or recovery period. You can continue with your daily activities immediately after administering the injection. Side effects, such as nausea, diarrhea, or constipation, are generally mild and decrease over time.

Q. What should I do while I'm on semaglutide?

A. You will feel best on Semaglutide by staying well hydrated, avoiding fatty foods and alcohol, and eating smaller meals. Exercise and a healthy lifestyle pair well with Semaglutide and improve results.

Q. How fast will semaglutide work?

A. You will start noticing the effects of Semaglutide gradually over the first month, with more significant changes appearing at three months and continued effects beyond that.
