What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist drug that has been approved by the FDA as an adjunct to lifestyle changes for weight management in adults who are clinically obese or overweight. In plain language, GLP-1s aid in lowering your body’s set point (the weight your body fights to maintain) by impacting areas in the brain to help increase your energy expenditure.

How Semaglutide Works to Help You Lose Weight

Semaglutide’s single-action mechanism solely activates the GLP-1 receptor to regulate insulin and appetite. Its benefits for weight loss in adults are twofold:

• Appetite suppression
• Insulin regulation

You self-administer semaglutide injections at home, once weekly. Results of a 15% loss of body weight and an average weight loss of 10 pounds per month are possible.

Your Next Question May Be, “Where Can I Find Wegovy Weight Loss Treatment in Orlando?”

Wegovy is heavily advertised, which gives this medication high brand-name recognition. This may even be what led you to our Solutions Weight Loss website. The success of Wegovy has created high demand, which has led to supply shortages, impacting many weight loss patients. Moreover, the brand-name medication is very expensive. However, semaglutide is a generic ingredient.

Solutions Weight Loss prescribes and dispenses semaglutide, as well as tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Manjaro and Zepbound). We offer high-quality compounded GLP-1 medications at an affordable price. This gives you the following major advantages:

Not having to ask for an expensive prescription that your health insurance most likely won’t cover. During a 30-minute consultation, Dr. William E. Newsome – Medical Director and co-owner of Solutions Weight Loss – will determine which medication is most clinically appropriate for your individual situation.

Upon determining the best medication for you, the prescription will be filled and you will leave with it that same day. Shortages of Wegovy or any other brand-name medication will never impact your medical weight loss program!
