Semaglutide® is a prescription medication to treat type 2 diabetes, lower blood sugar levels, improve cardiovascular health, and manage weight loss. By acting as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), Semaglutide® reduces appetite and cravings for comfortable weight loss without the discomfort of hunger pangs or cravings.
What is Semaglutide®?
Although Semaglutide® is incredibly effective in weight loss, patients must commit to a healthy lifestyle by increasing physical activity and following a reduced-calorie diet to achieve the best outcome.
What can Semaglutide® treat?
Semaglutide® is an effective form of treatment for long-term weight loss, but we can also use it to reduce the risk of a stroke, heart attack, or death in those with heart disease or type 2 diabetes. It can also treat high blood pressure and high cholesterol in overweight adults.
How is Semaglutide® taken?
Semaglutide® should be injected under the skin of your thighs, upper arm, or abdomen once a week. You should rotate the injections sites, and it is essential to keep track of your dosage as the dosage increases every four weeks until the maximum amount is reached.
