Medical Weight Loss
Medex Pros offers medical weight loss therapy using a medication called SEMAGLUTIDE (known commercially as OZEMPIC or WEGOVY). These injectable medications work in several ways to bring on significant weight loss that has been scientifically proven to stay off and improve your overall health.
What is SEMAGLUTIDE and How Does it Work?
SEMAGLUTIDE was originally designed as a drug for the treatment of diabetes. More recently, it was FDA approved as a treatment for weight loss and obesity. This medication belongs to the class of medicines known as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. GLP- 1 agonsts like SEMAGLUTIDE work by sending signals to the brain to keep you feeling full longer. It also slows down action in the stomach and intestines to slow down digestion and keep you feeling full longer. Your appetite will go down and your opportunity to overeat will diminish.
What to Expect?
SEMAGLUTIDE is given as a once weekly injection. Patients will begin to see significant weight loss within just a few weeks. Research has shown that at 3 months, people taking SEMAGLUTIDE have lost more than 5% of their total body weight. At 12 months patients can lose around 10% of their total body weight. The good news is that people tend to keep the weight off as well. These numbers also improve when you include a reasonable diet and good exercise regimen. Medex Pros will be there to guide you along your entire weight loss journey.
Is it safe?
SEMAGLUTIDE has been studied rigorously and has proven to be safe as a treatment for obesity. Initially, patients may experience nausea, diarrhea, bloating, dizziness, but these symptoms tend to resolve with continued use. As is the case with any medication, a thorough patient history and physical exam will be performed to determine if you are a good candidate for SEMAGLUTIDE therapy.
