Semaglutide works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation, helping to reduce hunger and calorie intake. Our caring and experienced medical team is dedicated to providing personalized care, guiding you through every step of the treatment process to ensure you achieve your health goals.
How Can Semaglutide Assist in Weight Loss?
Semaglutide, a weekly medication, regulates appetite by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, which signals fullness after eating. By slowing food’s exit from your stomach, it helps reduce hunger without the use of stimulants. For best results, it should accompany a low-calorie diet and increased exercise, as it does not replace healthy lifestyle choices.
Semaglutide Administration
Administered via subcutaneous injections, semaglutide dosage is tailored to each patient based on BMI, sex, age, and weight loss objectives, with gradual increases every four weeks. Patients have seen significant weight loss, though individual results vary. Side effects may include nausea or vomiting due to slower gastric emptying.
