What Is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide, which is marketed under the brand names Wegovy and Ozempic, is a medication approved by the FDA to lose weight. It works by increasing sensitivity to insulin and decreasing the amount of hunger hormone, suppressing appetite.

Semaglutide treatments are self-injected once each week and are safe enough for long-term use. It’s indicated for long-term weight management for people who:

• Have a BMI greater than 26.9 and have obesity-related conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, sleep apnea
• Have a BMI greater than 29.9 without obesity-related conditions

Semaglutide weight loss injections work best when combined with a reduced calorie diet and regular exercise program. Studies of Semaglutide have demonstrated people lost between 10% and 20% of their body weight on average.

Losing even a small amount of weight can have tremendous benefits to your health, including:

• Lower blood pressure
• Improved cholesterol levels
• Improved blood sugar levels
• Enhanced flexibility
• Improved mobility
• Less joint pain
• Less back, leg, and foot pain
• Improved breathing ability
• Improved sleep
