Yes. Semaglutide is a tool—not a shortcut.

To achieve the best results, it must be combined with:

• A reduced-calorie, nutrient-dense diet

• Regular physical activity and weight bearing exercise

• Behavior changes and accountability (coaching, journaling, support groups, etc.)

Semaglutide helps you stay consistent by reducing hunger and increasing satiety, but lasting weight loss requires lifestyle changes.

Weight loss results vary depending on starting weight, lifestyle, and consistency. Individual results will vary. Your provider will track your progress and adjust as needed.

Semaglutide is given as a once-weekly injection, typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.

Most side effects are gastrointestinal and usually lessen over time. Common side effects may include:

• Nausea or vomiting, Constipation or diarrhea, Bloating or gas, Headache or fatigue, Indigestion or acid reflux, Dizziness or lightheadedness, Redness, itching, or swelling at the injection site, Pancreatitis, Gallbladder issues, Allergic reactions, Kidney concerns due to dehydration, Thyroid tumors (including medullary thyroid carcinoma)

If you experience severe symptoms or signs of a serious allergic reaction (such as swelling of the face/throat or difficulty breathing), seek medical attention immediately.

Weight loss injections are not suitable for everyone. You should NOT take it if you:

• Are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding

• Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)

• Have a history of pancreatitis

• Are allergic to semaglutide or any GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Trulicity®, Rybelsus®)

• Are currently on insulin or medications that lower blood sugar, without approval from your diabetes provider

Always inform your provider about all current medications and medical conditions.

You have the option to do your injections at home or come into the office each week—whichever is more comfortable for you. Our team will provide thorough guidance on how to self-administer safely if you choose to do them at home.

Weight loss injections are a prescription medication that mimics a natural hormone in your body that helps regulate appetite, digestion, and blood sugar levels.

When used for weight loss, it helps:

• Reduce hunger and food cravings

• Slow stomach emptying, so you feel fuller longer

• Improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes

It is FDA-approved for chronic weight management.
