Weight Loss

Semaglutide weight loss drugs, including Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, and Zepbound, are a class of prescription medications used to treat obesity and overweight. They are all derived from a naturally occurring hormone in the body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). These drugs work by mimicking the action of GLP-1 in the body, which helps regulate appetite, slows down the emptying of the stomach, and increases feelings of fullness. This results in reduced calorie intake and a slower digestion process, leading to weight loss. Semaglutide weight loss drugs are primarily used for patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher as well as patients with a BMI of 27 or higher who also have at least one weight-related condition (such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes). They are usually prescribed alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
