Our team is here to guide you through the process, ensuring you have all the information you need to make an informed decision.
Understanding Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a medication originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes but has also been found effective for weight loss. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in the body that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite, leading to reduced hunger and increased feelings of fullness.
How Semaglutide Works
Semaglutide is administered via injection once a week. It helps control blood sugar levels and aids in weight loss by:
- Reducing appetite
- Slowing gastric emptying, which helps you feel fuller for longer
- Lowering blood sugar levels
Who is a Candidate for Semaglutide?
Ideal candidates for semaglutide are adults with obesity or those who are overweight with at least one weight-related condition. It’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if semaglutide is right for you. At Eterna M.D., our experienced team, including Dr. Carlos Mercado and Dr. Mara De La Vega, will assess your candidacy and create a personalized treatment plan.
Common Side Effects of Semaglutide
While semaglutide is generally well-tolerated, some common side effects include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Injection site reactions
- Headache
Tips to Manage Side Effects
To better manage the potential side effects of semaglutide:
- Start with a low dose and gradually increase as needed
- Take the injection at the same time each week
- Eat smaller, more frequent meals to reduce nausea
- Stay hydrated to help manage diarrhea
- Consider combining semaglutide with a weight loss nutrition program for optimal results
