FAQs

Semaglutide is a medication originally developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, in recent studies, it has been found to be effective in promoting weight loss in individuals with obesity or overweight. Semaglutide works by mimicking the action of a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which helps regulate appetite, food intake, and body weight. By activating GLP-1 receptors in the brain, semaglutide can reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and ultimately lead to weight loss.

Semaglutide for weight loss is typically prescribed to adults who have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher (considered obese) or a BMI of 27 or higher (considered overweight) with at least one weight-related health condition, such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes. It is essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if semaglutide is appropriate for individual circumstances

Clinical trials have shown that semaglutide can lead to significant weight loss when combined with diet and exercise. On average, participants in these trials lost more weight with semaglutide than with placebo or other weight loss medications. Results may vary from person to person, but many individuals experience substantial weight loss of 5-15% of their initial body weight over the course of treatment.

Common side effects of semaglutide may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite. These side effects are usually mild to moderate and tend to improve over time. However, more serious side effects such as pancreatitis and gallbladder problems are rare but possible and should be monitored by a healthcare provider.

Semaglutide is typically taken once daily as a subcutaneous injection. Treatment duration may vary depending on individual response and weight loss goals. In clinical trials, treatment with semaglutide for weight loss has been studied for up to 68 weeks. When treatment is discontinued, some individuals may regain weight, especially if lifestyle changes are not maintained. It’s essential to work closely with a healthcare provider to develop a plan for long-term weight management.
