Semaglutide weight loss injections are used for adult weight management. It works by replicating the hormone glp-1’s effects [1]. this hormone plays a key role in decreasing appetite and food absorption.
New patients start with a low dose of Semaglutide and the dose increases with time so our bodies can. Generally, Semaglutide users lose 15% of their body weight.

Semaglutide is a medication belonging to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (glp-1) receptor agonists that acts on the brain, pancreas and GI system to help with satiety and gastric absorption of food. In the past, Semaglutide was used in patients with type-2 diabetes to improve glycemic control. There have been many clinical studies that show Semaglutide as an effective weight loss solution. Patients can expect:
✓ Decreased appetite
✓ Improved blood sugar control
✓ Increased fat loss
✓ Lower risk of certain
Health conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol
While Semaglutide is a reliable long-term weight management solution, we believe it works best as an adjunct to diet and exercise.
Mounjaro is another popular weight loss treatment within the same class as Semaglutide. Like Semaglutides, Mounjaro is also an incretin mimetic. However, Mounjaro works differently by acting on GIP and GLP-1 receptors. Semaglutide only works on the GLP-1 receptor. Both drugs are used for treating type-2 diabetes.
As a dual-acting GIP and GLP-1, Mounjaro lowers fasting and postprandial glucose concentrations. In addition, Mounjaro decreases food intake, reduces body weight, improves the health of patients, and overall enhances their quality of life.
Semaglutides are only GLP-1 receptor agonists. Therefore, they bind only to the GLp-1 receptor and stimulate insulin release from the pancreas. As a result, this prescription drug slows digestion, allowing you to feel fuller for longer without overeating.
It is important to note that you should never use these medicines with other GLP-1 or GIP receptor agonists.

If you are prescribed the Semaglutide injections, there are specific injection sites on the body for this medication. Semaglutide shots are typically given as a shot under the skin of the stomach, thighs, or upper arms. It is a good idea to use a different body area each time you give yourself the injection. Keep track of where you administer your shot each week in a notebook or journal to make sure you rotate body areas.

Clinical trials have shown Semaglutide is an effective obesity treatment. Patients receiving a 2.4 mg dose lost a mean of 6% of their weight after three months. After six months, the majority of patients in a cohort study lost 5-10% of their weight.2 Some even lost 20% or more.
Semaglutide injections are in a class of medications called incretin mimetics. They work by helping the pancreas release the correct amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Insulin helps move sugar away from the blood into other body tissues, where it is used as energy.
As previously mentioned, the most comon side effects of Semaglutide include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Although rare, serious side effects are possible—such as allergic reactions. If you are concerned about this drug’s risks or side effects, speak to your provider during a consultation.
Not everyone is eligible for Semaglutide. Doctors can prescribe it for adults dealing with obesity, with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30, or overweight, with a BMI greater than 27, and with weight-related medical issues, including high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
Semaglutide injections and oral tablets require a prescription. Because of this, Semaglutide is not available as an over-the-counter medication.
Studies on Semaglutide for weight loss show that a vast majority of people who take Semaglutide gain weight back within a year of stopping the medication. This is why it is so crucial to follow your treatment plan AND commit to a healthy lifestyle to ensure long-lasting weight loss.
