What Are Semaglutide Injections?
Semaglutide injections are a prescription-based medical therapy used as part of a structured weight management program. Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which work by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone involved in appetite regulation and digestion.
This treatment is only provided after a medical evaluation and is overseen by licensed healthcare professionals.
How Semaglutide Works
Semaglutide helps support weight management by:
- Promoting a feeling of fullness
- Reducing appetite and food cravings
- Slowing gastric emptying
These effects may help individuals better adhere to dietary and lifestyle modifications when used as part of a comprehensive wellness plan.
Who May Be a Candidate?
Semaglutide injections may be considered for adults who:
- Are seeking medical support for weight management
- Have struggled with weight loss through diet and exercise alone
- Are committed to lifestyle and nutrition changes
- Meet medical eligibility criteria determined during consultation
Not everyone is a candidate. A thorough medical review is required prior to treatment initiation.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Administered as a subcutaneous injection, typically once weekly
- Dosage is gradually adjusted based on tolerance and provider guidance
- Ongoing monitoring is required throughout treatment
- Used alongside nutrition guidance and lifestyle recommendations
Treatment plans are individualized based on medical history, goals, and response.
Safety & Medical Oversight
Semaglutide is a prescription medication and must be used under medical supervision. Possible side effects may include gastrointestinal symptoms such as:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
These effects are more common during dose adjustments.
Semaglutide is not appropriate for everyone, including individuals with certain medical conditions. All risks, benefits, and alternatives are discussed during your consultation.
Results vary by individual, and no specific outcomes or weight loss results are guaranteed.
