Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a prescription medication used for chronic weight management by reducing appetite, controlling cravings, and helping the body feel full for longer after meals.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. It works by slowing gastric emptying and signaling the brain to feel fuller for longer.
Semaglutide is used to manage type 2 diabetes and, in higher doses (as Wegovy), is FDA- approved for chronic weight management.
Adults with a BMI of 30 or higher or a BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related condition may be eligible for semaglutide as a weight management tool.
This treatment is prescribed for adults with obesity or those who are overweight with weight-related health conditions. It is given as a once-weekly injection and is most effective when combined with healthy eating and regular physical activity. See pricing details here.
