It works by reducing constant food cravings and helping you feel full throughout the day, making it easier to eat less. Many patients experience significant weight loss, with some shedding up to 15% of their body weight or more, even after being on the treatment for over a year.
But semaglutide isn’t just about weight loss. It has also been shown to greatly reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes. This dual benefit makes it an attractive option for those looking to improve their overall health.
The treatment is simple and painless, requiring only a once-weekly injection under the skin. Semaglutide works by mimicking a natural hormone in the body called GLP-1, which helps to regulate appetite and food intake by slowing down hunger signals in the brain.
