Semaglutide is a prescription injectable medication used for chronic weight management. It belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. GLP-1 is a natural hormone produced in the gut that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite. Semaglutide mimics the effects of GLP-1, promoting feelings of fullness and reducing sugar production in the liver.
Tirzepatide is a novel prescription injectable medication designed for chronic weight management. It is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. Both GIP and GLP-1 are natural hormones involved in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite. Tirzepatide works by mimicking the effects of these hormones, promoting feelings of fullness, reducing food intake, and enhancing the body's insulin response, which can help lead to significant weight loss.
With Semaglutide Virginia Beach patients can achieve and maintain healthy weight loss by:
These benefits can translate to weight loss and improved body composition. Here are some additional benefits of Semaglutide:
Semaglutide may be right for you if you are struggling with weight loss and have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater (obesity) or 27 or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related health condition, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. In your consultation, our fully qualified Nurse Practitioner will meet with you to help determine if Semaglutide is suitable for you.
However, certain individuals should avoid taking Semaglutide. These include those with Type 1 diabetes, individuals with acute or chronic pancreatitis, those with active gallbladder disease, and those with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). These factors will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation to ensure the safest and most effective treatment plan for you.
While our Virginia Beach Semaglutide treatment can be a valuable tool for weight loss, it's important to manage expectations. It's not a magic bullet, and results will vary depending on individual factors like diet, exercise, and metabolism.
