Semaglutide injections for chronic weight loss management. This is approved for adults who suffer from being overweight with at least one weight-related health problem (hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, etc.) or are obese. This medication, along with lifestyle modifications (changes in diet and physical activity/exercise), can provide lifelong weight loss results.
Semaglutide is a long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist (glucagon-like peptide) that is administered as a weekly injection. This medication is doctor and nurse practitioner prescribed and customized to meet individual patient needs.
Semaglutide makes your stomach empty slower while also telling your brain that you are full sooner. Thus reduces cravings and helps you avoid overeating. It decreases appetite and food intake, which results in weight loss.
Semaglutide also increases insulin sensitivity, increases pancreatic function, increases insulin secretion, decreases gastric (stomach) emptying, and slows the liver’s release of glucose (sugar).
