Semaglutide Most Frequently Asked Questions

While taking semaglutide, some people begin to see results within the first eight weeks, but most begin to see results within 12 weeks. Clinical trials have shown that study participants taking a weekly dose of semaglutide had an average reduction in body weight of 5-10 percent.

The FDA gave the green light to semaglutide (under the brand name Wegovy) in June of 2021 for weight management for adults with obesity or overweight accompanied by at least one weight-related condition, such as elevated blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.

The FDA highlights potential side effects of semaglutide that include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, and fatigue, and highlights that patients should discuss with their healthcare professional if they have symptoms of pancreatitis or gallstones (among other conditions) before starting treatment.

Semaglutide is not always effective for everyone, but when successful, it can make a difference of up to 15% in body weight. During clinical trials, half of the participants using semaglutide achieved a 15% reduction in weight, while nearly a third reported losing 20%. In contrast, those who only implemented lifestyle changes saw an average decrease of 2.4% in their weight.

While it is considered safe and effective when used as directed, it should not be used if you or your family have a history of certain thyroid cancers. It is also not recommended for use in people with type-1 diabetes or a history of pancreatitis, and those already on other blood sugar lowering medications should avoid using semaglutide. In addition, it has not been approved for use by anyone younger than 18 years old. Before taking semaglutide, speak with your healthcare provider to understand the potential risks associated with this medication and whether or not it is right for you.

The price of semaglutide varies depending on whether insurance covers it. However, those living with obesity incur substantially more medical costs than non-obese individuals in both total and most major categories of health expenses. Illnesses, injuries, or disabilities attributed to obesity can also incur work-related costs for the affected individual.

Semaglutide will be prescribed as a weekly subcutaneous injection.

Yes, it is believed that Semaglutide can help curb your appetite though not everyone experiences a curbed appetite.

When taking Semaglutide, no food should be considered off-limits; however, certain foods can trigger side effects, such as fatty foods, processed foods and sugary snacks. These may prove particularly challenging for your body to digest and could lead to nausea and upset stomach. Consuming alcohol can irritate your stomach and impact your blood sugar levels while taking Semaglutide, so it is recommended to limit or eliminate alcohol.

What are Peptides and How do they Work?

As we grow older, the natural production of essential amino acids diminishes in our bodies. These amino acids are responsible for generating peptides which are crucial to many bodily functions.

Peptides modify the body’s responses to diet and exercise, accelerate the healing process, and strengthen immunity. Additionally, some peptides stimulate the secretion of Human Growth Hormone, which is influential in boosting strength, energy levels, skin elasticity, hair growth and much of the aging process.

Peptides provide detailed, targeted directives to cells and molecules, making them a better option than many traditional medications and supplements. Because of their precision, peptides are reported to cause very few, if any, side effects.
