If you have struggled to lose weight or suffer from weight-related pain, semaglutide injections may be able to help. Semaglutide is a diabetes medication that has been used to help diabetic patients lose weight, but it is FDA-approved for patients who are overweight and have at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes.
Pain Zero prescribes weight loss injections in Ohio to treat patients and help them lose weight and start feeling better. These weekly injections can provide the support you need to lose excess weight when nothing else has worked. Let our physicians help you determine if Semaglutide could be the right choice for your weight loss journey.
How Semaglutide Injections Work for Weight Loss
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. These are a class of medications that help the body produce more insulin and help with weight loss by reducing the feeling of hunger.
In the body, GLP-1 is released from the intestines when you eat food. It stimulates insulin secretion and plays an important role in reducing appetite. Since semaglutide helps increase GLP-1 in the body, it can help with weight loss by helping you feel less hungry.
You do not have to be diabetic to use semaglutide for weight loss. Patients who have a history of being overweight or obese may qualify for these injections to help them lose weight and keep it off to improve their quality of life.
Do I Qualify for Weight Loss Injections?
You may qualify for weight loss injections in Ohio if you have:
-
A BMI of 27 and at least one weight-related condition.
-
A BMI of 30 or higher with or without a weight-related condition.
Weight loss injections are prescribed by a physician and must be used as directed as part of a comprehensive weight loss program that includes reduced calorie intake and increased activity according to your ability level.
What to Expect for Your Treatment
Semaglutide is usually self-administered once a week as a subcutaneous injection in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Your provider will determine the appropriate dosage for you.
Initially, your physician may gradually increase your dosage over the first few weeks, allowing your body to adjust to the medication. Throughout your treatment, you may experience reduced appetite, leading to potential weight loss. Additionally, you may notice improvements in blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.
It’s vital to follow your healthcare provider's instructions and attend regular check-ups to monitor your progress and address any concerns. With consistency and support, semaglutide treatment can help you achieve your weight loss and overall health goals.
