What is semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a prescription medication that improves blood sugar control and helps manage Type 2 diabetes. It can also regulate your appetite and reduce hunger signals.
At Nexclin Medicine, semaglutide is prescribed as part of a personalized medical weight loss plan designed to help you safely achieve sustainable results under the supervision of a trained and knowledgeable team.
Am I a candidate for semaglutide?
The best way to determine if semaglutide is right for you is to schedule a consultation at Nexclin Medicine. The practice has multiple convenient locations, making it easy to learn more about semaglutide and how it may support your weight loss goals.
You may be considered a candidate for semaglutide if your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or above. The team may also recommend it if you have a BMI over 27 along with a weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure or Type 2 diabetes.
Semaglutide may not be appropriate if you have a history of thyroid cancer. Your Nexclin Medicine provider reviews your medical history to ensure your treatment is right for you.
How does semaglutide work?
When semaglutide is introduced to your body, it behaves like glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is a natural hormone released by your digestive system when you eat. GLP-1 helps slow digestion and sends signals to your brain that you’re full.
You’ve probably heard it takes about 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain you’re full. When those internal signals are working well, you primarily have GLP-1 to thank for it.
By activating GLP-1 receptors, semaglutide:
- Reduces appetite
- Helps you feel full faster
- Can decrease your overall calorie intake
Semaglutide is a doctor-prescribed, once-weekly injection tailored to your individual weight-loss plan.
Is semaglutide effective?
Your results will depend on many unique factors, but clinical studies show that people may lose more than 10% of their body weight within the first six months when their care team combines semaglutide with medical guidance and lifestyle support.
