SEMAGLUTIDE
What is Semaglutide?
​
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in the injectable medications Ozempic® and Wegovy™. Ozempic helps control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes and is prescribed alongside diet and exercise. Wegovy, containing a higher dose of Semaglutide, is intended to treat overweight and obesity. At HydraSlim, located in Toms River and Short Hills, NJ, our team utilizes Semaglutide to support effective weight management for our patients.
Who is a candidate for Semaglutide?
​
The FDA approves using Ozempic and Wegovy for people with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater. People with a BMI of 27 or greater and a metabolic health condition may also qualify for the drug. Metabolic health conditions include type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
Semaglutide injections are part of a comprehensive weight-loss plan that includes a customized low-calorie, low-fat diet, and exercise program. The injections can also help overweight and obese people control weight-related problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.
How does semaglutide work?
​
Semaglutide helps the pancreas release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Insulin is a hormone that moves sugar from the bloodstream into cells for energy.
The injections also slow the movement of food through your stomach, thus decreasing appetite and speeding up weight loss.
How do I take semaglutide?
​
Semaglutide is an injectable medication administered once a week, ideally on the same day each week at any time of day. If you need to change your schedule, consult your provider; typically, a dose can be administered if 48 hours have passed since your last injection.
Your provider will start you on a low dose, increasing it every four weeks until the optimal level is found. Always consult your provider before stopping this medication.
