Semaglutide is an injectable prescription medication originally approved for treating type 2 diabetes. More recently, semaglutide has been found to be highly effective for weight loss when prescribed in higher doses than what is typically used for diabetes.
At the Hormone Solutions in Rowlett, we now offer semaglutide for weight management. When combined with lifestyle changes, semaglutide can help patients lose significant amounts of weight and keep it off long-term.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, meaning it mimics the hormone GLP-1 that is released naturally after eating. GLP-1 slows digestion and promotes feelings of fullness and satisfaction.
Specifically, semaglutide works to promote weight loss in the following ways:
By impacting these physiological processes, semaglutide facilitates calorie deficit needed for weight loss. It also helps patients feel in control of their eating and choose healthier foods.
At our Rowlett semaglutide clinic, we customize semaglutide weight loss plans to each patient's needs and health profile. However, our standard protocol is as follows:
Initiation Phase
Maintenance Phase
Discontinuation/Transition Phase
