Semaglutide is an injectable medication used for managing type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management. It helps lower blood sugar levels and reduces appetite, which can lead to significant weight loss for patients who struggle with obesity. Semaglutide is the first FDA-approved injectable medication for chronic weight management in adults.
When used in combination with diet and exercise, semaglutide has been shown to help patients lose on average 12-15% of their body weight over the course of treatment. This medication works by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1 that targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. It sends signals of fullness to the brain, helping you feel satisfied with smaller portions of food.
Some key benefits of using semaglutide for weight loss include:
Semaglutide is prescribed and closely monitored by obesity medicine specialists and providers at specialized weight loss clinics. Treatment plans are tailored to each individual patient based on their medical history, BMI, and weight loss goals.
