Semaglutide is a weekly injectable prescription. This injection was previously only given to diabetes patients, but has now been cleared by the FDA for weight loss. This FDA-approved medication is used for managing weight loss. When used with a lifestyle that includes being mindful of eating habits and some exercise, it is a powerful long-term weight loss solution that can improve overall health and wellness.
The Semaglutide injection is administered once a week to help with long-term weight management. The injectable glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin (hormones that small intestine releases) that’s sent out by your body after you’ve eaten to help lower your blood sugar by triggering insulin, blocking other sources of sugar. This will lower your calorie intake allowing you to lose weight, 1-2 pounds a week by increasing the feeling of being full.
The injection will be given just under the skin in your abdomen. It should be administered once a week on the same day each week and can be given at any time of day, with or without food.
Semaglutide is meant for adults who struggle with excess weight or adults who have weight-related medical problems such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
Patients will start to see the effects of Semaglutide working after the first dose and should start experiencing weight loss within the first two weeks of their program. Everyone’s weight loss journey looks different and how much weight you have to lose will dictate the duration of your program. However, it is typical for patients to lose 1-2 pounds a week or 8-10 pounds a month, Purifi IV is waiting for you to SCHEDULE YOUR CONSULTATION TODAY!
