Is Semaglutide Right for You?

Semaglutide is a weight loss medication that helps you accomplish your long-term weight management goals. This new and effective answer to losing weight is part of a category of medications that reproduce the effect of what is known as the GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide) hormone in the human body. This hormone is naturally released in the gastrointestinal tract when you eat, triggering the production of insulin to lower blood glucose and regulate appetite.

Semaglutide contains a modified variant of the molecule that enables the medication to remain in your body for weeks as opposed to the brief amount of time in which the hormone lasts naturally. As a result, the production of glucose becomes self-regulating, and helps the body burn off fat, converting it to energy.

Semaglutide is now available as a weekly injection or a daily sublingual dose. Each method is highly effective as a weight loss solution to fit your lifestyle. Both versions are now FDA approved after nearly a decade. FDA approved ingredients of GLP-1 medications are compounded in licensed US pharmacies under State Board oversight. Only pharmaceutical grade USP/NF base GLP-1 ingredients with Certificate of Analysis are used — no research grade or salt forms.

Sublingual and Injectable Medications Now Available

How You Take Your
Semaglutide Dosage
is up to You

Injectable – Semaglutide
Weight Achievement Center offers an injectable version of Semaglutide, which enables you to receive a weekly injection from one of our medical staff, or to administer the medication yourself through a weekly injection. This version of the medication has been approved for use as a weight management solution since 2014. With a weekly dose, more medication is directly introduced into the bloodstream to ensure efficacy and the dosage can be increased at a gradual pace in order to reduce potential side effects.

Sublingual – Semaglutide
Sublingual Semaglutide is a daily dose that allows for the medication to be absorbed underneath the tongue, dissolving easily, since it gets introduced into the body quickly. The medication is absorbed through the mucus membranes and enters the bloodstream through the small blood vessels under the tongue.
The use of liquid doses for a sublingual method of medication allows for a gradual increase in dosage with smaller amounts taken on a daily basis. Sublingual doses are available in a variety of strengths, which can be chosen by your Weight Achievement Center physician to best address your weight loss needs.

Frequently asked questions

What is Semaglutide and how does it aid in weight loss?
Acting as a GLP-1 receptor agonist, semaglutide emulates the actions of an incretin hormone, boosting insulin secretion to effectively manage blood sugar levels. It also acts as an appetite suppressant, diminishing food intake and promoting weight loss. Additionally, semaglutide’s ability to slow gastric emptying results in a prolonged sense of fullness, facilitating the reduction of calorie intake.
Is Semaglutide safe and FDA-approved for weight loss?
Semaglutide has received FDA approval for weight management in adults experiencing obesity or overweight conditions, along with at least one weight-related ailment like hypertension or type 2 diabetes. Its safety and efficacy for sustained weight management have been substantiated through various clinical trials.
Who is an ideal candidate for Semaglutide treatment?
Semaglutide treatment is recommended for adults who meet specific criteria. These individuals should have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher if they are classified as obese, or a BMI of 27 or higher if they are classified as overweight. In addition to these BMI requirements, they should also have at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
How is Semaglutide administered and what are the dosage options?
Semaglutide is a treatment that offers enhanced tolerability and minimized side effects through subcutaneous injections. Administered just once a week, the dosage is gradually adjusted over several weeks to optimize effectiveness. Individuals typically begin with a starting dose of 0.25 mg per week, which can be increased up to 2.4 mg per week based on their unique response and tolerance levels.
What are the potential side effects of Semaglutide?
You may experience common side effects like nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, and abdominal pain. However, there are rare but serious side effects such as pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney injury, and an increased risk of low blood sugar for individuals with type 2 diabetes. It is crucial to consult a healthcare provider to discuss these risks.
How long does it take to see results with Semaglutide?
You could start seeing weight loss within a few weeks of beginning treatment, although results may vary. If you stick to your treatment plan and maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine, you can expect significant weight loss within six months to a year.
Can Semaglutide be used in conjunction with other weight loss programs or diets?
Utilizing Semaglutide in conjunction with other weight loss methods, such as calorie-restricted diets and regular exercise, is feasible. It is advisable to formulate a comprehensive weight loss plan with the assistance of a healthcare professional.
Is a prescription required for Semaglutide, and how can I get one?
Yes you need to get a prescription by consulting with a healthcare professional. They’ll assess your health and medical history to ensure it’s the right fit for you.
What is the cost of Semaglutide treatment and is it covered by insurance?
The varying cost of Semaglutide depends on the dosage and insurance coverage. Most insurance plans cover it for diabetes management, but coverage for obesity treatment may differ. To get accurate coverage details, it’s recommended to check with insurance providers.
