Semaglutide has been studied for its potential in weight management. It has shown effectiveness in reducing appetite and promoting weight loss, leading to its use in higher doses specifically for weight management under a different brand names, Wegovy and Ozempic.

Semaglutide is available by prescription, and a healthcare provider will assess an individual’s medical history, overall health, and specific diabetes management needs before prescribing it.

Higher doses of Semaglutide, marketed under the brand name Wegovy and Ozempic, are approved for chronic weight management in addition to type 2 diabetes treatment. This may be considered for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) above a certain threshold and who have obesity-related health conditions.

Semaglutide works by slowing the digestion process, which can help you to feel full for longer. Semaglutide acts like a hormone your body naturally makes to regulate blood sugar and may help support weight loss. It acts like a natural hormone your body uses to regulate blood sugar and appetite—key steps in resetting your biological set point to help you maintain a new, lower weight.

Semaglutide (Ozempic) dosing starts out low, then gradually increases over the first few months until a steady dose is reached. If prescribed, your healthcare provider will work with you to find the schedule and dosing that’s right for you. As an example, the lowest dose of Semaglutide is 0.25 mg once a week and the maximum dose is 2.0 mg once a week.

Semaglutide comes in a prefilled injection pen that contains multiple doses. If prescribed, you (or someone in your household) will select the prescribed dose, then administer the injection under the skin of your stomach, thigh, or arm once a week.

While a routine injection may sound intimidating, the Semaglutide pen uses a tiny needle designed to minimize discomfort. You’ll also receive clear instructions on using the injection pen, and your affiliated provider can offer additional advice.

Side effects of Semaglutide include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, diarrhea, or constipation may occur. Nausea usually lessens as you continue to take semaglutide. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist right away.

Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: signs of kidney problems (such as change in the amount of urine), vision changes (such as decreased/blurred vision).

Get medical help right away if you have any serious side effects. Nausea and abdominal discomfort is not uncommon.
