Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication that works by regulating appetite, slowing digestion, and improving blood sugar control, making it easier to lose weight and keep it off
Our medical team customizes Semaglutide treatments as part of a comprehensive wellness plan
Exercise: Physical activity improves insulin sensitivity and GLP-1 response
Each step normally holds at least 4 weeks, because a new dose takes about 4 to 5 weeks to reach full strength on semaglutides roughly 7-day half-life, and full washout after the last dose takes about 5 weeks. For adults who tolerate 2.4 mg for at least four weeks and need additional weight reduction, the current label allows a maximum of 7.2 mg weekly. Ozempic uses a related diabetes ladder that ends at 2.0 mg weekly, a blood-sugar ceiling rather than the Wegovy obesity ceiling
Injection sites include the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, and you should rotate sites weekly
[5] Wegovy, which is prescribed solely for weight loss, is much less commonly covered by insurance companies, mainly because covering weight loss drugs is extremely expensive due to the number of qualifying patients
