What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide in Portland is a new medication therapy approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) designed to help obese people lose weight at the rate of 1-2lbs per week. It is an injectable medication that contains a form of the hormone called GLP-1, which regulates insulin production in the body, suppresses hunger signals to the brain, and slows digestion. Semaglutide therapy is delivered weekly via a virtually painless injection. If you wish to participate in this treatment, our medical specialists will evaluate you and provide professional advice before starting the process.
How Does Semaglutide Weight Loss Work?
Semaglutide works by interacting with the body’s hormones responsible for appetite and instructing your brain to suppress hunger cues and slow digestion speed. This means that you will no longer have much appetite for food since whatever you eat will take longer to leave the stomach.
The weight loss injection contains a single active ingredient called GLP-1 analog, which when used as an adjunct with diet and exercise, aids in weight loss in adults with obesity. Semaglutide in Portland has also helped most patients reduce fasting blood sugar levels by about 30% and HbA1c levels by 1% over three months.
Are You A Candidate?
Now that you know how this medication works, how do you determine if this treatment is ideal for you? Well, semaglutide weight loss is a medication therapy that can be suitable for any adult with difficulty losing weight.
If you are obese with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of over 30 or overweight with a BMI of 27 and above and have other risk factors, you could be the right candidate for this therapy.
The duration of treatment with semaglutide varies from person to person, depending on individual health and wellness goals. The length of this therapy is dictated by your weight and how fast your body responds to the treatment.
What to Expect After Semaglutide Weight Loss Program
Once you reach your goal weight, you will meet with our provider to discuss maintenance options. There is a mandatory weaning off Semaglutide in Portland in order to reduce the risk of rebounding weight gain. Also, reviewing a plan to ensure you have established health habits that will support your new weight loss accomplishment.
