Semaglutide in Charlotte, NC
Semaglutide
Semaglutide (Or Ozempic) for weight loss is a medication that is used to help people who are overweight or obese lose weight. It works by affecting the release of hormones that control appetite and food intake. When taken at a higher dose than the dose used for diabetes, it can help people lose weight by reducing hunger and increasing feelings of fullness.
Semaglutide works for weight loss by affecting the hormones that control appetite and food intake. Here are some key points:
- Delays stomach emptying. This leads to a feeling of fullness and satisfaction with smaller meal sizes.
- Lowers blood sugars, in part by reducing the production of sugar in the liver.
- Stimulates insulin secretion by the pancreas.
