Semaglutide is a medication that acts as a GLP-1 receptor agonist, mimicking a natural hormone involved in appetite and blood sugar regulation. It slows stomach emptying, increases feelings of fullness, and reduces hunger, which helps patients eat less and lose weight. It is administered as a weekly injection and used under medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
The program is ideal for individuals who are overweight or have obesity, especially those with related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or metabolic syndrome. A healthcare provider will evaluate your medical history and health goals to determine if this treatment is appropriate and safe for you.
Common side effects include mild nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, headache, or fatigue. These symptoms usually decrease as your body adjusts to the medication. Serious side effects are rare but will be closely monitored by your healthcare provider throughout the treatment to ensure your safety.
Treatment duration varies depending on individual response and health goals but typically spans several months. Early in the program, frequent follow-ups occur to monitor progress and adjust dosage, with visits becoming less frequent once a stable dose is reached and weight loss goals are maintained.
