The first FDA-approved weight loss treatment since 2014, Semaglutide has recently been added to our weight loss services at Total Med Solutions. We couldn’t be more excited to offer this service to our patients. Here is a little more information about it.

Semaglutide is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which are used to treat type 2 diabetes. It works by increasing insulin production in the pancreas and decreasing the amount of glucose produced by the liver, helping to lower blood sugar levels.

One of the major advantages of semaglutide is its ability to not only improve blood sugar control, but also to help with weight loss. Studies have shown that people who take semaglutide can lose an average of 5-10% of their body weight, which can have a significant impact on overall health and diabetes management.

Semaglutide is typically administered via once-weekly subcutaneous injection. It is a long-acting medication, and it’s important that the injection is given at the same time every week to maintain consistent blood levels.

It’s worth noting that semaglutide is a prescription medication and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider. It’s not recommended for people with a history of pancreatitis or severe gastrointestinal issues, and it’s not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Overall, semaglutide is an effective medication offering the benefit of weight loss. If you’re considering semaglutide as a treatment option, be sure to discuss the potential risks and benefits with your healthcare provider.

It is important to work closely with a healthcare professional to monitor blood sugar levels, adjust the dosage and combination of medications as needed and check for potential side effects. Regular check-ups are also recommended to assess the efficacy and safety of the treatment.

Total Med Solutions is excited to be offering an introductory package for those patients who are right for semaglutide treatments: Only $599 For 3-Month Program (normally $999) that consultations, body analysis, all lab work and weekly injections and ongoing program maintenance.
