Weight Loss Program
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is used for type 2 diabetes to lower blood sugar levels and maintain acceptable blood sugar. In 2014, Semaglutide was approved by the FDA for type 2 diabetes. It was discovered, however, that the more semaglutide was used and studied, the clinicians found that semaglutide had other positive benefits like decreasing appetite and helping patients lose weight. After more studies and clinical testing, in 2019, the FDA approved semaglutide for weight loss in patients who have a 30 BMI or greater or a BMI of 27 and greater with at least one comorbidity. Comorbidities include cardiovascular issues. Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist. It mimics the action of the incretin GL-1 by improving the production of insulin or a hormone that lowers blood sugar levels. In addition, semaglutide works by controlling your appetite, and the peptide semaglutide reduces the prompts in the brain that control food intake and appetite. In addition to using Semaglutide, an exercise program and reduced caloric intake will help aid in weight loss goals and long-term management.

Brand names are Wegovy, Ozempic, and Rybelsus. Wegovy and Ozempic are injections, and Rybelsus is a tablet.
How is Semaglutide taken?
