Medical Weight loss

Medical weight loss through prescription medications can be used to treat obesity in overweight adults in a variety of ways. Some medications will make you feel full sooner or less hungry, reducing the amount of food consumed daily. Other medications will change how your body absorbs fat from foods, successfully helping you lose fat.

Wegovy

Wegovy, also known as semaglutide, is an injectable prescription medication approved for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight conditions. It belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and works by mimicking the effects of a hormone that regulates appetite and food intake. Wegovy is administered once weekly and has shown significant effectiveness in aiding weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Studies have demonstrated that individuals using Wegovy have experienced substantial weight loss compared to those on a placebo, making it a promising option for those struggling with weight management. However, as with any medication, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional to discuss its suitability, potential side effects, and overall
benefits for individual weight loss goals.
