According to an agency press release, the FDA-approved, once-weekly Semaglutide injection can be an option for chronic weight management in adults. These adults experience obesity or being overweight and have at least one weight-related condition. Semaglutide weight loss in Tampa offers proven long-lasting weight loss instead of the fast and furious loss associated with other weight loss medications and fad diets.
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a weekly, subcutaneous injection, but dosing may be increased after 2-4 weeks as needed. The injection is the first approved drug for chronic weight management in adults with a BMI of 27 or greater who have at least one weight-related comorbidity, such as type 2 diabetes or hypertension, or in adults with a BMI of at least 30.
How does Semaglutide work?
By controlling cravings and reducing your appetite, you can achieve significant weight loss with this FDA-approved prescription peptide.
Approved for medical weight loss in 2014, Semaglutide is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring hormone that targets appetite centers in the brain and the gut. This hormone, GLP-1, is produced in the small intestine and stimulates insulin secretion while inhibiting glucagon secretion. The ultimate result is lowered blood sugar and feeling full and satisfied by decreasing appetite and portion sizes.
What are the benefits of Semaglutide?
Medical weight loss is both an aesthetic and health concern. The benefits of Semaglutide medical weight loss in Tampa at Bay Area Modern Medical Center include:
- Improved health and longevity of patients suffering from obesity-related illnesses such as type 2 diabetes
- Decreased blood pressure
- Decreased dependency on medicine to lower blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes
- Improved breathing and sleep in patients with sleep apnea
- Boosted confidence and appearance
Semaglutide is ushering in a new generation of safe and highly effective hormone-based weight loss medications. Some of the health benefits that Semaglutide patients experience include:
- Reduced appetite
- Improved eating control
- Reduced food cravings
- Improved glycemic control
- Blood sugar-lowering effects without increase in hypoglycemia
- Reduced body weight, lipids, blood pressure, inflammatory markers, and oxidative stress
- Reduced cardiovascular risk factors such as BMI and waist circumference
During clinical trials, Semaglutide helped most people with obesity lose at least 10% of their body weight, and more than half of them reduced their weight by at least 15%. Most healthcare professionals recommend losing 15% of your body weight to help reduce the risk of future chronic illnesses.
Am I a good candidate for Semaglutide?
If you’ve struggled with your weight and have tried to lose it on your own, you might wonder what else you can do after trying diet and exercise. Semaglutide can give you the support, expertise, and help you need to finally conquer your weight and take control of your habits and physical appearance again.
Anyone ready to take charge and shed unwanted pounds can benefit from our weight loss programs. Semaglutide is effective and safe across a broad spectrum of patients, whether you are older or younger, higher BMI or lower, and regardless of race and ethnicity.
However, not everyone is eligible for treatment with Semaglutide. It is not recommended for those with a personal or family history of specific endocrine or thyroid tumors, especially medullary thyroid cancer.
