Semaglutide Program: Everything You Need to Know

FAQ: What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved injectable prescription medication designed for long-term obesity treatment. By mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, semaglutide reduces your appetite and keeps you full for a longer period of time, enabling you to eat less. It can also help your body stay in a fat-burning mode and reduce calorie consumption. Semaglutide targets fat cells and regulates blood sugar, so there's no need to worry about losing muscle mass or becoming dehydrated as a result of losing water weight.

Possible Side Effects:

Common side effects include gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, nausea, and heartburn. Semaglutide is generally well-tolerated, with potential weight loss benefits.

High Blood Pressure and Semaglutide:

Semaglutide can be taken by patients with high-blood pressure! Semaglutide not only aids weight loss but also reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
