Semaglutide injections contain a synthetic version of the natural hormone GLP-1. It helps decrease the intensity of your cravings and reduces your appetite.
Semaglutide was first approved to treat type 2 diabetes. It has now also received FDA approval as a weight loss solution for those dealing with obesity.
Semaglutide may lead to common gastrointestinal side effects like vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and constipation. The side effects typically resolve on their own.
Semaglutide is available in different dosage forms for various conditions. At Forever Young, our weight loss medication plan with Semaglutide involves regular injections over a long period of time based on your specific condition.
