What is Semaglutide? Semaglutide, the active ingredient used in Wegovy (FDA Approved glp-1 injectable for weight loss) and Ozempic, is increasing in popularity & helps treat issues with excessive fat. It works by encouraging the pancreas to release more insulin when your blood sugars are high and help move this sugar into your tissue and organs for energy. By using sugars more effectively in your body, you can lose the excess weight that you’ve been dreaming of losing and lower your risk factors for many health issues.

• Slows gastric emptying. Decreasing appetite.
• Improves insulin resistance & reduces food cravings.
• Improves A1C & reduces the risk of cardiac events.

4-week intervals for dosing increases. You can stay at the lower dose if that works for you!

The Pharmacy will send your medication to our office and we will administer your weekly injection. You are also welcome to take your injections home to self-administer. Our Nurse can instruct you how to safely self-administer.
