Semaglutide Q & A

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is FDA-approved for long-term or chronic weight management in obese patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater or overweight patients with a BMI of 27 or greater with at least one weight-related condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or others.

How does it work?

Semaglutide is a weight loss medication administered under the skin via weekly injection. It is designed to imitate the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone, a chemical that we already have in our body that interacts with the areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. It is known to control feelings of hunger and slow the body's processing of food out of the stomach. Increasing GLP-1 levels through Semaglutide treatment extends feelings of fullness throughout the day, naturally reducing your caloric intake. When administered as a support to healthy eating habits and minimum regular physical activity, Semaglutide is a highly effective treatment for weight loss.
