Weekly Injections Dosage Plan
Your weight loss doctor will make a dosage plan based on your medical history and overall health after your teleWellness consultation. Typically, patients are started on a lower dosage and as your doctor receives feedback on your progress they may increase your dosage.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist. Such medications imitate the appetite-suppressing and digestion-delaying effects of the GLP-1 hormone.
Semaglutide, the primary component of Wegovy* and Ozempic*, was approved by the FDA following thorough testing for safety and efficacy. Semaglutide also has a better track record than other weight-loss drugs
Compounded semaglutide is semaglutide that has been prescribed to a particular patient and manufactured at a compounding facility authorized by the FDA or a state pharmacy board. Compounding pharmacies must use ingredients provided by suppliers that have been approved by the FDA. Additionally, these pharmaceuticals always undergo potency, sterility, and purity testing.
Although it’s legal to manufacture compounded medication, FDA pre-market approval is not required because these drugs are not produced in large quantities for the general population. Instead, they are made in response to specific demands made by healthcare professionals. As a result, these prescriptions may require different dosages and administration techniques than name-brand drugs.
Semaglutide is meant to be self-injected subcutaneously once a week. Users consume fewer calories as a result of the medication's ability to slow gastric emptying and digestion.
Furthermore, semaglutide affects the part of the brain responsible for cravings and hunger, empowering users to exercise better control over the size and frequency of their meals.
| Month | Semaglutide Benefits |
|---|---|
| ONE | During the adjustment period, you may experience side effects like nausea while noticing a reduced appetite and modest weight loss (around 2-4 pounds). |
| TWO | Weight loss becomes more noticeable (1-2 pounds per week), side effects diminish, and portion control improves as appetite suppression continues. |
| THREE | Steady weight loss (cumulative 8-12 pounds), improved energy levels, and enhanced metabolic benefits like better blood sugar regulation become apparent. |
| FOUR | Weight loss may slow or plateau, but healthier eating habits and increased physical activity are more ingrained by this stage. |
| FIVE | Weight loss continues (potentially 15-20 pounds or more), along with noticeable health improvements like better blood pressure and cholesterol, and fewer food cravings. |
| SIX | By this time, sustained weight loss (10-20% of starting weight) is achieved, with long-term lifestyle changes solidified and improved confidence due to progress. |
Medical weight loss is a comprehensive, doctor-directed approach to attaining and sustaining a healthy weight. It involves a customized program that can involve changing one's diet, increasing physical activity, making behavioral modifications, and, if necessary, using prescription medications like semaglutide.
In addition to losing weight, patients who receive this treatment learn how to maintain their weight loss.
Participating in medical weight loss programs has helped many people reach their weight loss goals. These programs help people lose weight more successfully by using a tried-and-true method that goes beyond food and exercise.
Your online consultation will proceed similarly to a typical doctor's appointment. More precisely, the doctor will go over your medical history, determine whether you qualify for semaglutide, and, if necessary, help you set reasonable weight loss goals.
Semaglutide injection costs can differ depending on a number of variables, such as your location, the dosage, and whether your insurance will pay for it. But generally speaking, if you don't have insurance, you should budget about $800 to $1,000 per month.
Certain Medicare programs and health insurance companies cover semaglutide injections, at least in part. Novo Nordisk also provides a patient assistance program for people who are experiencing financial challenges.
Semaglutide injections are prescribed via telemedicine through the Sanctuary Wellness Institute's weight loss clinic in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. We send our patients' medication directly to their residences so they can administer it themselves.
The entire process of obtaining semaglutide injections can be completed online when you partner with the Sanctuary. Our patients can fill their semaglutide prescriptions, make payments, and plan and attend doctor’s appointments from the comfort of their own homes.
Each person will achieve weight loss on semaglutide at a different pace. However, studies show that weight loss usually commences during the first few weeks of using the medicine.
Due to variables including metabolic rate, physical activity, and diet, the time it takes to lose 20 pounds on semaglutide can vary significantly from patient to patient. That said, research indicates that semaglutide users lose about five pounds per month, which means it would take the average patient about four months to lose 20 pounds.
The length of your semaglutide treatment will depend on your objectives, how your body responds to the drug, and your doctor’s recommendation. Generally, though, semaglutide is used to lose weight over the long-term. Patients often use the drug for many months, a year, or even longer.
The exact duration of your treatment should ultimately be decided by a medical practitioner based on how your body responds to semaglutide and how quickly you lose weight on it.
Semaglutide is not suitable for everyone. Individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2) should avoid taking semaglutide. It’s also not recommended for patients with a history of severe gastrointestinal diseases, including pancreatitis, as semaglutide can exacerbate such conditions.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare providers before beginning semaglutide treatment, as the medication can pose a risk to the health of fetuses and infants. Additionally, individuals with allergies to semaglutide or any of its components should not use this medication.
Although semaglutide promotes weight loss, including the reduction of visceral fat around the abdomen, users must exercise regularly and eat a balanced diet to maximize their weight loss. Semaglutide is not a miracle drug that automatically melts away belly fat, but, when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle, it can eliminate it.
Semaglutide injections carry side effects much like any other drug. Constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and upset stomach are among the most typical ones. These effects usually disappear once your body adapts to the drug.
Nevertheless, you should still consult your physician prior to using semaglutide. Additionally, if you take semaglutide and suffer from any serious or persistent side effects, you should contact your doctor.
