Semaglutide is an injectable medication previously used only to treat Type 2 Diabetes.  However, in 2021, the FDA approved the use of Semaglutide for long-term weight management in adults.  It is classified as a glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) analog, a key hormone produced in the small intestine that stimulates insulin secretion and slows gastric emptying (how fast your stomach empties food).

The Benefits of Semaglutide:

• Decreases Appetite
• Aids in Weight Loss
• Decreases Body Fat Percentage

This injectable medication is used in combination with a diet and exercise plan to help patients lose and keep off weight.  Along with lifestyle changes, Semaglutide can be helpful to decrease the risk of weight related problems.
