Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in regulating appetite and food intake.
It helps you feel fuller longer, reduces cravings, and can help regulate blood sugar levels. Most patients begin to see results within the first few weeks of treatment.
Semaglutide is taken as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection. You'll inject it yourself at home using the supplies provided.
- Inject once per week, on the same day each week
- Can be taken with or without food
- Rotate injection sites (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm)

FAQs
Weight loss varies by individual, but clinical studies have shown that patients using GLP-1 medications like semaglutide can lose 15-20% of their body weight when combined with diet and exercise.
Your results will depend on factors like your starting weight, adherence to the treatment plan, diet, and physical activity level.
Semaglutide has been extensively studied and FDA-approved for weight loss (as Wegovy®) and type 2 diabetes (as Ozempic®). Like all medications, it has potential side effects.
Your provider will review your medical history to ensure it's appropriate for you and monitor your progress throughout treatment.
Most patients begin to notice reduced appetite and some weight loss within the first 2-4 weeks. Significant weight loss typically occurs over 3-6 months of consistent treatment.
Your provider will work with you to develop a plan for maintaining your weight loss. Some patients may transition to a lower maintenance dose, while others may be able to stop with lifestyle modifications.
