What are the benefits of semaglutide?
Semaglutide improves blood sugar control and aids in weight loss by slowing stomach emptying, resulting in a full feeling after eating and a lower calorie intake. By helping you feel satiated, semaglutide effectively prevents cravings and overeating, leading to weight loss.

Effective & Dependable
A Revolutionary Weight Loss Solution
Effective, safe, and clinically backed.
This once-a-week injection was originally engineered for diabetes, but clinical trials have uncovered its remarkable weight loss ability.
Semaglutide is a synthetic version of a hormone called GLP-1 that is produced in our gut. By mimicking the effects of GLP-1, semaglutide can help shed pounds and control blood glucose in three ways:
Semaglutide stimulates your pancreas to release insulin:
Insulin is a hormone responsible for removing excess sugar from your bloodstream. This helps prevent blood sugar spikes.
Semaglutide inhibits your liver from releasing stored glucose:
This keeps blood sugar levels steady.
Semaglutide slows down stomach emptying:
This keeps you feeling full for longer and helps in portion control.
Does semaglutide have any side effects?
Semaglutide side effects tend to be gastrointestinal in nature. In clinical trials, commonly reported side effects included:
Nausea
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Constipation
The good news is that these issues tend to improve over time as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if you experience any persistent or concerning side effects, be sure to contact your doctor right away.
Am I eligible to take semaglutide for weight loss?
To qualify for a semaglutide prescription for weight loss, you must be deemed a good candidate for treatment and:
Have a BMI of 27 or above (overweight) OR 23 or above while already on a GLP-1 medication.

Common Questions About Semaglutide
When starting semaglutide, you begin with a small dose of 0.25 mg per week for the first month to allow your body to get accustomed to the medication. At this low dose, you likely won’t experience significant changes in blood sugar or weight.
After the first month, your doctor will increase your dose to 0.5 mg per week. At this moderate dose, studies show people can lose an average of 8 pounds over 30 weeks.
For the best weight loss results, higher doses of Semaglutide tend to work better. Bumping up to 1 mg per week, research shows an average weight loss of 13 pounds over 40 weeks. And for maximum impact, the 2 mg per week dose helped study participants drop around 15 pounds on average over the same time period.
It takes around four to five weeks of weekly semaglutide injections to reach what's called "steady state." This means that the amount of the drug in your body remains stable.
The timeline varies from person to person. Your age, weight, health status, and medications can impact how quickly semaglutide takes effect.
When you start semaglutide, your doctor will gradually increase your dose. Rather than immediately taking the full dose, you'll start with a low amount and slowly work your way up. This method allows your body to adjust to the semaglutide.
Month 1: In the first month, you'll inject 0.25 mg once a week for two weeks. This small starting dose helps your body get used to the medication, before increasing to 0.5 mg per week for the rest of the month.
Month 2: Your dose will increase to 1 mg once weekly.
Month 3: If needed, your doctor will increase your dose to 1.5 mg once weekly.
Month 4: If a higher dose is still needed, your doctor will increase your dose to 2 mg once weekly. If needed, you may be bumped up to the maximum dose of 2.5 mg per week.
If you miss your semaglutide dose, you can take the missed dose within 5 days. For example, if you missed your dose on Monday and realized you forgot it on Wednesday, you can take it as soon as you remember.
However, if it’s been more than 5 days since you missed your dose, skip the missed dose and return to your normal dosing schedule.
Unfortunately, there is limited research available on the safety of semaglutide during pregnancy. Due to this, if you are planning on becoming pregnant or are currently pregnant, it is best to avoid taking the medication and talk to your doctor.
