Semaglutide Weight Loss Injections
Are GLP-1 Injections Right For You?

Semaglutide injections may be prescribed for chronic weight management in adults who have obesity or are overweight, along with at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure, type-2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.

How Semaglutide Helps You Lose Weight
Recent studies suggest that around 70% of American adults may be classified as obese or overweight. This suggests that a large portion of the U.S. population may face weight-related health risks, potentially including stroke, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
Semaglutide is a medication that mimics the effects of a natural hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which plays a role in regulating appetite and blood sugar levels. When used as an injectable treatment for weight management, semaglutide works in several ways. It is thought to help regulate hunger by acting on the brain’s appetite centers, which may lead to a reduction in food intake and, potentially, weight loss. Additionally, semaglutide may slow down the rate at which the stomach empties after eating, increasing feelings of fullness and satisfaction. It may also improve the body’s response to insulin, contributing to better blood sugar control. Furthermore, semaglutide is believed to influence metabolism in various ways, such as improving fat breakdown or reducing fat accumulation. While the exact mechanisms are still being studied, the primary goal of semaglutide injections is to assist individuals in managing their weight by addressing factors like hunger and metabolism.

Semaglutide Dosage Details
We obtain Semaglutide from a pharmacy, formulated at specific concentrations, and gradually increase the dosage at four-week intervals to minimize discomfort and potential side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which usually subside after a few weeks. Semaglutide is a relatively new weight loss treatment that can significantly reduce weight, especially when combined with a low-calorie diet and regular exercise. It is particularly beneficial for individuals struggling with excess weight. Initially developed to treat type 2 diabetes, Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, and at low doses, it increases insulin secretion.
Here is the dosing schedule for a 3 mL vial containing 2.5 mg/mL Semaglutide:
- Weeks 1-4: Weekly injections of 0.25 mg (0.1 cc, which is 10 units on an insulin syringe)
- Weeks 5-8: Weekly injections of 0.50 mg (0.2 cc, which is 20 units on an insulin syringe)
- Weeks 9-12 (maintenance dose): Weekly injections of 1.0 mg (0.4 cc, which is 40 units on an insulin syringe)
- Weeks 13-24 (maintenance dose): Weekly injections of 1.0 mg (0.4 cc, which is 40 units on an insulin syringe)
This regimen achieves excellent results. Clients are taught self-injection techniques and provided with a dosing schedule. We encourage monthly weigh-ins and consultations to monitor progress and address any concerns.

Candidates for Semaglutide Weight Loss Treatment
Semaglutide may be effective for some individuals in reducing excess weight. But it may not be suitable for all individuals. Semaglutide was approved by the FDA for medical weight loss in 2021. Semaglutide is typically prescribed for adults with a BMI greater than 30, or a BMI of 27 or higher with one or more weight-related medical conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure.
You are not a suitable candidate if you are at risk of developing a thyroid C-cell tumor or if your family has a medical history of thyroid tumors. Others who are not adequate candidates include people with a history of severe allergic reactions to medication or any inert ingredients of the solution.

Semaglutide vs Tirzepatide
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in some recently introduced weight loss medications. Semaglutide is known to be a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It is thought to mimic the human GLP-1 hormone, potentially aiding in appetite regulation and glucose control. It may also slow down the stomach’s emptying rate. Tirzepatide is another ingredient commonly used in weight-loss treatments. Tirzepatide is a newer option compared to semaglutide, and it has shown promising results in some studies. Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in medications used to manage type 2 diabetes and obesity. Like semaglutide, tirzepatide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, but unlike semaglutide, tirzepatide also acts as a GIP agonist. GIP, or gastric inhibitory polypeptide, is a hormone that may play a role in stimulating insulin secretion.
Efficacy
Both semaglutide and tirzepatide have been shown to be effective for weight loss in some individuals. Tirzepatide has shown potential for greater weight loss compared to semaglutide in some studies. Tirzepatide may be less readily available and more expensive than semaglutide, depending on supply and pricing. When used under the guidance of a healthcare professional, semaglutide and tirzepatide may help some individuals achieve weight loss. Semaglutide and tirzepatide are not intended to be standalone treatments, and patients are advised to use them in conjunction with lifestyle changes. For optimal results, weight loss injections may be most effective when combined with regular exercise and a balanced diet.
