What is Semaglutide and How Can it Help You Lose Weight?
Semaglutide is a medicine that can be used for weight loss and for lowering the blood sugar level in type-2 diabetes patients to reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack. It is what is known as a ‘GLP-1’ agonist. This type of medicine acts by increasing insulin release and delaying the emptying of the stomach, thus reducing appetite.
What Results Can I Expect from Semaglutide?
Most patients are able to feel the effects of their semaglutide treatments immediately following their first dose, as their appetite is suppressed and they feel fuller from smaller portions of food for longer periods of time than typical. However, the efficacy of your semaglutide will depend on which dosage is right for you. Semaglutide doses gradually increase over a 16 to 20-week period. This dosing schedule alleviates any gastrointestinal side effects you may experience from the popular weight loss treatment.
