Approved by the FDA, it works by reducing constant food cravings and providing a sense of fullness throughout the day. Most patients can lose up to 15% over their body weight, with many patients losing much more, and studies have shown that patients continue to lose weight even after being on treatment for over a year. In addition to aiding in weight loss, Semaglutide has been shown to significantly reduce cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke. The treatment is painless, requiring only a once-weekly subcutaneous injection, and works by mimicking GLP-1, the major hormone involved in slowing down hunger pathways in the brain. Overall, Semaglutide offers a promising new option for those struggling with weight loss.
