Medical Weight Loss

• You may know semaglutide as Ozempic, an injectable medication used in people with Type 2 diabetes. According to GoodRx Health, “Ozempic can help manage blood sugar, and it can also lower the risk of heart attack and stroke if you also have heart disease. You can also find it as an oral pill, called Rybelsus. And Wegovy, a higher-strength version, is approved to help people lose weight.
• Semaglutide works by mimicking a gut hormone that causes your pancreas to release insulin, blocks your liver from releasing sugar, and slows down how fast food leaves your stomach. While these actions can be beneficial for Type 2 diabetes and weight loss, they can also cause some side effects.
• Some semaglutide side effects can be bothersome and make the medication difficult to tolerate. But the good news is that they usually subside over time. Although rare, there are also some serious side effects to know about.
• Semaglutide works for weight loss by making you feel less hungry. And eating fewer calories may cause you to feel more tired. Feelings of fatigue should subside as your body adjusts to potential changes in your diet.

Weight Loss suits individuals seeking an approach to weight management and overall wellness.

Results are typically noticeable within a few weeks, with optimal outcomes achieved through several sessions.

The duration of results varies among individuals, but the benefits can be long-lasting with proper maintenance and lifestyle choices.

• Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus) can cause side effects that some people are unable to tolerate. Following dosing guidelines can help manage these side effects.
• Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are the most common semaglutide side effects. But they usually subside after a few weeks of using the medication. 
• Although rare, serious side effects are possible. Some may require immediate medical attention, like pancreatitis and allergic reactions.
• Some of the most common side effects are:
  
  1. Nausea and vomiting (create a “see more…” drop-down and make it tickable)
  
  Nausea is the most common semaglutide side effect. Up to 20% of people taking it for Type 2 diabetes reported nausea in clinical trials. Nausea is even more common if you’re taking the higher-dose version for weight loss. Vomiting tends to be less common than nausea.
  
  Eating smaller meals, avoiding high-fat foods, and remaining upright after you eat can also help manage potential nausea and vomiting from semaglutide. But if these side effects are accompanied by severe stomach pain that may or may not spread to your back, get medical attention right away. 

• Semaglutide is a medication that’s intended to be taken long term. Wegovy, specifically, is approved for chronic weight management. As long as you’re taking the medication, weight loss is typically sustained. But if you stop taking it, it’s possible to gain some (or all) of the weight back, especially if lifestyle changes are not changed
• Semaglutide should be paired with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Establishing habits that you can maintain long term is important if you decide to stop semaglutide.
