Semaglutide

Semaglutide acts on the body differently than insulin. Semaglutide is a member of the GLP-1 class of medications, and has acts to reduce hunger and weight. Semaglutide slows the rate at which food is transferred from the stomach to the intestines (called gastric emptying), which generally makes you feel full sooner and longer, so you eat less. The medication also passes through the bloodstream into the brain, where it decreases both food intake and appetite.

How Does Semaglutide Work?

​In large RCTs, patients receiving semaglutide, 2.4 mg, lost a mean of 6% of their weight by week 12 and 12% of their weight by week 28. Results vary, but many people start feeling the effects of the Semaglutide at the first dose and should start experiencing weight loss within the first two weeks of the program. In a 68-week trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine in March 2021, obese or overweight adults who took semaglutide had a 15% decrease on body weight, and also experienced improvements in physical function and risk factors for heart disease.
