Semaglutide for Weight Loss in St. Louis
How It Works
- GLP-1 Receptor Agonist: Mimics the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which increases insulin secretion, decreases glucagon secretion, slows gastric emptying, and reduces appetite.
- Efficacy: Clinical trials have shown that semaglutide can lead to an average weight loss of approximately 15% of initial body weight over 68 weeks.
- Administration: Available as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection
- Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation. Things like pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, kidney injury are more serious and require medical attention.
- Patient Selection: Ideal for patients with a BMI ≥30 kg/m² or ≥27 kg/m² with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., hypertension, type 2 diabetes).
