Medically Supported Weight Loss May Be for You

There are many reasons people are unable to lose weight despite all their best efforts. We are here to listen to your concerns, understand your physiology and map out a program to achieve your goals. 

Over the last 15 years, Semaglutide, in a class of medications called GLP-1 agonists, like Ozempic, Wegovy, Trulicity, Victoza, and similarly Mounjaro, has been used to treat type 2 diabetes. Its use has recently been approved by the FDA to help manage weight loss (along with diet and exercise) in overweight or obese adults with additional risk factors.

Semaglutide is injected under the skin, once weekly at any time of day, with or without food, and should be injected on the same day each week.

Semaglutide is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal symptoms, often due to low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Although semaglutide by itself usually does not cause hypoglycemia, blood sugar can be affected by other factors, so it is important to drink lots of water and not skip meals. 

Our expert physician can help you decide if this is the right solution for you.
