Semaglutide is a generic form of FDA approved medication for weight loss, Wegovy. This is the first medication that is recommended for long-term use for weight loss. This medication is a glucagon-like peptide that mimics a hormone that the body naturally produces to tell you that you’re full. The medication is a weekly injection that patients have the ability to self-inject or we can administer the injections here in our office. At your first appointment we will go over your health history, surgical history, current medications, and allergies. If you have any recent laboratory testing, we recommend bringing the results with you to your first office visit with us. Though they tend to be mild, there are some possible side effects, which includes waves of nausea and heart burn. We look forward to meeting you to learn more about your health journey and to help identify if Semaglutide is right for you.
