Semaglutide: Medical Weight Loss Program
Our Semaglutide weight loss program consists of semaglutide injections – a generic version of Ozempic – eating plan, recipe ebook, and program support managed by our team of medical professionals.
How Semaglutide Works
Semaglutide is a medication used alongside a healthy diet with fewer calories and more physical activity to help people manage their weight over the long term. It works by mimicking a hormone in your body – glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) – that is naturally produced when you eat. This hormone sends signals to your brain to make you feel less hungry and more satisfied after meals. Not only does it help you feel fuller for longer by slowing down how quickly your stomach empties, but it also helps your body use insulin better, which can lower your blood sugar levels, reduce your blood pressure, and even help lower your cholesterol.
Weight Loss Benefits
Though semaglutide is officially approved for treating diabetes, doctors often prescribe it to help with weight loss too. It’s generally considered safe for most people, and the benefits of using it usually outweigh any risks. However, like any medication, it can have side effects. The most common ones are feeling nauseous, indigestion, and bloating. A smaller number of people might experience severe vomiting and diarrhoea, but this usually improves as your body gets used to the medication. That’s why doctors start with a low dose and slowly increase it.
Administration and Onset
Semaglutide is administered through a weekly injection. It begins to work within hours of administration, but the exact speed at which it takes effect can vary among individuals based on factors such as metabolism, diet, and exercise habits.
Additional Considerations
It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if Semaglutide is a suitable option for you, especially considering any underlying health conditions or other medications you may be taking. Semaglutide should be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise to achieve the best results in weight management. That said, Semaglutide isn’t suitable for everyone. It’s not recommended for people who have a high risk of certain thyroid cancers, pancreatitis, or gallstones. This highlights the importance of talking to your doctor about your medical history before starting treatment.
