AlternaMeds-affiliated providers prescribe a GLP-1 medication called semaglutide. The side effects of semaglutide are generally mild and may improve within a few weeks of initiating treatment. The most common side effects comprise nausea, vomiting, stomach upset and pain, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, acid reflux, belching, gas, dizziness, headaches, and fatigue. While severe side effects are infrequent, they can occur. These may include intestinal obstruction, thyroid cancer (observed only in animal studies so far), pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, low blood sugar, kidney disease, severe allergies, vision problems, rapid heartbeat, and suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Semaglutide is not recommended for use in patients with a family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2. For comprehensive safety information, including a BOXED WARNING regarding the risk of thyroid cancer, please consult the complete Prescribing Information for Wegovy® and Ozempic®.

The medications prescribed by AlternaMeds' healthcare providers have undergone clinical testing and have been demonstrated to be both safe and effective in helping with weight loss.

In the pursuit of weight loss, our bodies are guided by a "set point weight" influenced by biological factors such as genetics, hormones, and metabolism. This inherent complexity can present challenges to weight loss efforts, making medication a valuable tool in overcoming these obstacles.

The Semaglutide Injection is a weekly treatment designed to support weight loss. It operates by mimicking hormones that interact with specific areas of the brain responsible for regulating appetite and food intake. Consequently, it aids individuals in reducing food consumption, leading to weight loss.

It typically takes about two weeks for semaglutide to start working in the body. While taking semaglutide, some people begin to see results within the first eight weeks, but most begin to see results within 12 weeks.

Ozempic® (Semaglutide) is a safe, doctor-prescribed GLP-1 medication. It belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Ozempic® works by mimicking the effects of a hormone called GLP-1, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels. It is used to treat diabetes.

Depending on your BMI and other medical factors our providers may start your initial treatment with a smaller amount to allow your body to acclimate to the medication. As you approach the third week, we'll get in touch to assess your progress, and your doctor will then decide on the appropriate dosage for your next phase.
