What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a synthetic medication that has traditionally been used to treat patients with type II diabetes, but in recent years has also been used to facilitate medicated weight loss. Semaglutide most closely mimics the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1) hormone, which naturally occurs within the body. GLP-1 is released within the gut as a response to eating and is responsible for reducing blood sugar levels.
However, in higher doses, GLP-1 and semaglutide work as a natural appetite suppressant and signal the body to feel full after eating a certain portion of food. When used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise, semaglutide has been found to be both a safe and effective facilitator for weight loss in patients who are overweight or obese.
What Can I Expect During Semaglutide Treatment?
Your semaglutide treatment sessions will be ongoing throughout the entirety of your weight loss journey. Semaglutide should be administered just once each week via injection in the stomach, thigh, or upper arm. We often encourage our patients to choose where they would like to administer their semaglutide but rotate between locations often to avoid complications.
If you happen to miss a dose of your semaglutide medication, we encourage you to take it as soon as you remember. However, if you’re close to your next dosage, please skip your missed dosage altogether and proceed with your next injection as normal.
What Results Can I Expect from Semaglutide?
Most patients are able to feel the effects of their semaglutide treatments immediately following their first dose, as their appetite is suppressed and they feel fuller from smaller portions of food for longer periods of time than typical. However, the efficacy of your semaglutide will depend on which dosage is right for you. If you find you are not feeling the effects of semaglutide within a few weeks of starting your medication, we encourage you to talk to your provider about adjusting your medication.
For ultimate results, we encourage you to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle with regular exercise to help facilitate your medicated weight loss. If you need assistance creating a healthy lifestyle plan for yourself, talk to one of the expert providers at Texas Medical Institute. We’ll be happy to provide you with the tools, resources, and guidance you need to carry out healthy habits that suit your individual needs and lifestyle.
