A quick guide to Semaglutide: The once-weekly weight loss injection

Brought to you by - Hydralive Therapy Milton

Lose weight with just one weekly shot? Qualifying individuals can take advantage of the latest non-surgical medical weight loss option, Semaglutide injections, right here at Hydralive Therapy Milton.

Who qualifies for the program?

Semaglutide can be prescribed for adults who have obesity, with a body mass index (BMI) of greater than 30; or overweight, with a BMI greater than 27 accompanied by at least one weightrelated medical problem such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol.

Semaglutide is not recommended for those with a personal or family history of certain endocrine or thyroid tumors, including medullary thyroid cancer.

How is the treatment administered?

Semaglutide is self-administered as a subcutaneous injection (shot) once weekly. This medication is generally welltolerated, and it can be taken long-term.

How does it work?

Semaglutide mimics a hormone produced in the small intestine that increases the sensitivity to the insulin your body produces, decreasing the amount of hunger hormone your body makes. It also acts on the “rewardcenters” in your brain to suppress appetite. Reduced hunger in combination with lifestyle modifications including healthier food choices, healthier meal intervals, and increased exercise have been proven to result in weight loss–even in individuals who have previously struggled to lose weight.

How much weight can I expect to lose on Semaglutide?

Studies have shown the average person lost around 10-20% of their bodyweight with the use of Semaglutide. For example, a patient weighing 250 lbs may expect to lose around 25-50 lbs.
