Welcome to a new era of medical weight management with Semaglutide injections—a scientifically studied treatment designed to help you achieve meaningful and sustainable weight loss.

What is Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy)?

Both Wegovy and Ozempic are made by the pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk. Both medications contain the exact same active ingredient, semaglutide, but they are approved and prescribed for different uses.

• Ozempic: Approved by the FDA in 2017 to treat type 2 diabetes. It is also frequently prescribed off label for weight management.

• Wegovy: Approved by the FDA in 2021 at a higher dose specifically for chronic weight management and obesity.

Semaglutide mechanism of action

Semaglutide works by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite, food intake, and blood sugar. It acts on areas of the brain involved in appetite control, helping reduce hunger and cravings while increasing feelings of fullness and satisfaction. Semaglutide also slows gastric emptying, allowing you to feel fuller for longer after eating. In addition, it improves insulin sensitivity and helps regulate blood glucose levels. Together, these effects can make it easier to reduce calorie intake and support sustainable weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle.
