Semaglutide for weight loss questions
Get answers to some of our most frequently asked questions about Semaglutide injections for weight loss.
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved mediation that functions by mimicking glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone the body naturally produces.
When GLP-1 is released, it targets various receptors in the body to help stimulate insulin release, while also suppressing glucagon, slowing gastric emptying, and increasing the feeling of fullness. Semaglutide works by reducing overall body fat and suppressing the appetite.
In clinical studies, patients showed an average weight loss or 35lbs or 15% of body weight when used in combination with diet and exercise.
Typically, it takes about two weeks for Semaglutide to start working in the body. While taking Semaglutide, some people begin to see results within the first four weeks. However, a majority will see results within the initial 12-week period.
Semaglutide improves body composition by helping patients lose weight and reduce excess fat, including stubborn belly fat. It also increases the proportion of lean body mass. In general, the more weight you lose, the greater the improvements you’ll see in your overall body composition.
Some patients using Semaglutide for weight loss may experience mild side effects including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn and burping. If there is excessive nausea while using Semaglutide, we will prescribe anti-nausea medication to help alleviate symptoms.
