How Semaglutide Works

Semaglutide is a small injection used for weight loss that works through a GLP-1 mechanism. It slows down how quickly your stomach empties, helps reduce cravings, and also provides blood sugar lowering benefits

GLP-1 Mechanism

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. GLP-1 is a natural hormone your body already makes to control appetite. Semaglutide helps this hormone work longer so you feel full faster and stay full longer.

Semaglutide Helps You Lose Weight By:

  • Reducing cravings
  • Helping you feel full sooner
  • Slowing digestion so you stay full
  • Lowering appetite
  • Balancing blood sugar

Weekly Injection

"This medication is injected under the skin. You will be taught how to prepare and give it. Take it as directed on the prescription label. It is given once every week (every 7 days). Keep taking it unless your care team tells you to stop."

          (Cleveland Clinic, 2024)

 

Do You Qualify?

If your BMI (Body Mass Index) is above 30 or if it is above 27 and you also have additional health conditions like sleep apnea, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure, you may qualify.
