What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a prescription medication used primarily to help with weight management and to improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes, which mimics a hormone that helps regulate appetite and insulin.
How Does Semaglutide Work?
Semaglutide works by stimulating the GLP-1 receptors in the body, which can help increase feelings of fullness, decrease appetite, and slow down gastric emptying. This can lead to reduced calorie intake and weight loss. For individuals with type 2 diabetes, it also helps regulate blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin secretion and reducing glucose production in the liver.
Who is a good candidate for Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is typically prescribed for individuals who are overweight or obese and have not been able to achieve significant weight loss through diet and exercise alone. It is also used for people with type 2 diabetes who need better blood sugar control. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, so it’s important to discuss your medical history and weight loss goals with Dr Glantsman before beginning treatment..
What are the common side effects of Semaglutide?
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These symptoms often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as pancreatitis or gallbladder issues can occur. Always report any unusual or severe symptoms to your healthcare provider.
How is Semaglutide administered?
Semaglutide is administered as a subcutaneous injection, typically once a week. Dr. Glantsman can guide you on how to properly inject the medication or may offer to administer it in our offices.
What should I discuss with my doctor before starting Semaglutide?
Before starting Semaglutide, inform your doctor about any other medical conditions you have, especially gastrointestinal issues or a history of pancreatitis. Also, share details about other medications you’re taking to avoid potential interactions.
