Semaglutide is a medication that helps manage blood sugar in people with Type 2 diabetes and, at a higher dose, can be prescribed for chronic weight management. It works by mimicking a natural hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation, leading to reduced hunger and increased feelings of fullness, which aids in weight loss.
Semaglutide is not safe or appropriate for everyone. Its suitability depends on your individual health history, other medications, and specific conditions. Our providers at PrimeHealth Primary Care will conduct a thorough medical evaluation to determine if Semaglutide is a safe and effective option for you.
