What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide, the key component of the weight loss program, belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone released in response to eating, slowing down food digestion, increasing feelings of fullness, and reducing blood glucose levels. Semaglutide injections are self-administered once a week as subcutaneous injections.
Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Semaglutide injections in promoting weight loss when combined with a diet and exercise program. Participants using Semaglutide experienced significant weight loss compared to those who only made lifestyle changes. However, it’s important to note that weight regain may occur after discontinuing Semaglutide.
While Semaglutide is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects such as dizziness, fatigue, gastrointestinal issues (such as diarrhea, constipation, and gassiness), headache, and stomach discomfort. These side effects are typically temporary and manageable.
Semaglutide is recommended by the FDA for weight loss in individuals who meet specific criteria based on body mass index (BMI) and weight-related conditions. However, there are certain medical conditions, such as a history of medullary thyroid cancer, gallbladder disease, pancreatitis, or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2), that may make Semaglutide unsuitable.
If considering Semaglutide for weight loss, it is crucial to consult with our team at Texas Medical & Wellness Clinic, who can assess personal and family medical history and provide guidance on the most suitable treatment approach. For individuals with diabetes already taking other medications, it’s important to discuss possible combinations of diabetes medications that are safe and effective.
