Semaglutide Injections

Understanding Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog approved by the FDA for chronic weight management. As the newest GLP-1 drug, it helps regulate blood sugar levels while suppressing appetite and aiding weight loss.

How it Promotes Weight Loss

Semaglutide promotes weight loss through two key mechanisms:

It sends signals of fullness to the brain to help you feel satisfied with less food
It slows digestion so your body absorbs fewer calories

These effects lead to reduced food intake and significant weight loss. In clinical trials, participants lost on average 12-15% of their body weight over 68 weeks.

Additional Health Benefits

Beyond weight loss, semaglutide provides additional benefits:

Lower HbA1C (blood sugar levels)
Decreased risk for heart disease and stroke
Improved physical functioning

With broad effects on weight, blood sugar, and cardiovascular health, semaglutide addresses key health measures.

FAQ About Semaglutide Injections

What is semaglutide?

Semaglutide is an injectable prescription medication used together with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists that help the body produce more insulin when blood sugar is high.

How does semaglutide work?

Semaglutide works by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 that is released naturally by your body after eating. It slows digestion, prevents the liver from making too much sugar, and signals the pancreas to produce insulin. All together, these effects lower blood sugar levels.

What are the side effects of semaglutide?

Common side effects of semaglutide may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and constipation. These side effects are usually mild to moderate and tend to decrease over time. Less common but more serious side effects include inflammation of the pancreas, low blood sugar, kidney problems, changes in vision, gallbladder problems, and severe allergic reactions.

How is semaglutide administered?

Semaglutide comes in a prefilled pen that you use to give yourself injections under the skin of your stomach, thigh, or upper arm. Your doctor will show you how to properly inject this medication. The starting dose is 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg once weekly, which is gradually increased over 5-8 weeks up to a maintenance dose of 1 mg once weekly.

Who should not take semaglutide?

You should not use semaglutide if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. Semaglutide also should not be used by anyone with severe kidney, liver, gallbladder, or digestive problems. Tell your doctor about any medical conditions before starting this medication.
