What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide injection is a medicine that is used to help control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes, as well as, aide in weight loss. It is made up of a synthetic version of a hormone called GLP-1, which helps to stimulate insulin production and reduce the amount of glucose produced by the liver. It is available as a prescription medicine and is typically used with other diabetes medications or a healthy diet and exercise regimen.
How is it administered?
Semaglutide is a medication that we use at our medical office to help patients with weight loss. It will be administered once weekly as an injection by our trained medical providers and we will gradually titrate the doses up until the goal BMI is met. In addition to its use in weight loss, Semaglutide has also been approved to treat type 2 diabetes.
