At Women’s Medicine of Niagara, we’re excited to introduce our latest offering: medical weight loss with semaglutide. If you’ve been struggling with weight management and traditional methods haven’t yielded the results you desire, this could be the solution for you. Here’s everything you need to know:
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a groundbreaking treatment approved by the FDA for chronic weight management in adults with a BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater who have at least one weight-related condition. It belongs to a class of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic the effects of the naturally occurring hormone GLP-1. This hormone helps regulate appetite and calorie intake, making you feel fuller for longer and reducing cravings.
How Does Semaglutide Work?
Semaglutide works by acting on specific receptors in the brain that control appetite and food intake. By mimicking the effects of GLP-1, it slows down gastric emptying, which helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce hunger. This medication is administered once weekly via injection and is designed to complement a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Is Semaglutide Safe?
Semaglutide has been extensively studied in clinical trials, demonstrating its safety and efficacy for weight loss. However, like any medication, it may have side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, which are usually mild and tend to improve over time. Our medical team at Women’s Medicine of Niagara will monitor your progress closely and provide guidance on managing any side effects.
What Are the Benefits of Medical Weight Loss with Semaglutide?
- Effective Weight Loss: Clinical studies have shown that semaglutide leads to significant weight loss compared to placebo, making it a powerful tool in managing obesity.
- Health Benefits: Beyond weight loss, semaglutide may improve overall health by reducing the risk of weight-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
- Convenience: Semaglutide injections are administered once weekly, offering a convenient treatment option for busy lifestyles.
- Personalized Support: Our experienced healthcare providers will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs, ensuring you receive the support and guidance necessary to achieve your weight loss goals.
