How to Combat Fatigue Caused by Low Testosterone
June 1, 2023A healthy amount of weight loss can have a major influence on your life and health—but oftentimes, diet, and exercise alone don’t provide the results you’re looking for. Semaglutide can change that.
Semaglutide is the weight-loss medication making waves in the healthcare industry with its ability to help people maintain better overall health and physical wellness while losing weight.
Read on to discover how Semaglutide can work to provide you with life-changing weight loss and improved health.
How does Semaglutide work to help you lose weight?
Semaglutide is classified as a GLP-1 receptor agonist medication. Medications in this classification mimic the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor to increase the body’s release of insulin and lower blood sugar after eating. This lowers the amount of glucagon released, delays gastric emptying, and reduces appetite.
Basically, with the correct dosage, Semaglutide slows down your food as it travels from the stomach to the small intestine—meaning you feel full faster and stay full longer. This works to lower your appetite and helps you maintain a reduced-calorie diet.
However, it is important to note that this weight-loss medication does not work on its own. Patients are encouraged to make diet and exercise changes and/or continue living a healthy lifestyle to see positive results with Semaglutide.
Who would benefit from Semaglutide?
Semaglutide could be a great option for those struggling to lose weight or looking for a way to help improve their overall well-being through weight loss.
As a weight-loss medication, Semaglutide does more than help patients reach their goals on the scale. Its ability to help patients shed pounds helps alleviate or prevent other health conditions that are influenced by excessive body weight—such as various cardiovascular diseases, osteoarthritis, and sleep apnea.
Regardless of the reason you’re looking to lose weight, it is always important to consult your doctor or medical professional before starting Semaglutide or any other medication.
How is Semaglutide administered?
Semaglutide is administered once a week through a subcutaneous injection—meaning it is injected into the fatty tissue just below the skin. It is recommended that you administer Semaglutide in the upper arm, thigh, or stomach. Be sure to keep track of and rotate your injection sites.
These injections can easily be stored and self-administered at home. While they can be taken at any time of the day, they should be taken on the same day each week. If you choose a different weekly injection day, start your new schedule at least two days after your last injection.
When taking Semaglutide, follow any and all additional instructions from your doctor or medical professional. This may include prescribed diet, exercise, weight control, medical test, and other special medical care.
