Semaglutide FAQs

Who is eligible for Semaglutide injections for weight loss?

To qualify for Semaglutide injections, certain criteria must be met. You must either:

1. Have a BMI of 27 kg/m2 or higher, accompanied by a weight-related ailment, or
2. Have a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or higher.

Semaglutide is available only by prescription. You must consult your medical service provider, typically your primary care physician, to assess if Semaglutide is the right weight loss option for you. If deemed suitable, your physician will guide you on its usage and recommend appropriate lifestyle changes. In case Semaglutide is not suitable, alternative weight loss plans will be explored.
How can I obtain approval for Semaglutide?

To obtain a prescription for Semaglutide, consult your primary care physician or an approved medical professional. They will conduct a comprehensive medical assessment, ensuring it is the right option for you. The criteria for Semaglutide eligibility are as follows:

- Body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above
- BMI of 27 or above, accompanied by a weight-related medical condition
- No medical condition that would hinder safe usage
Who should avoid Semaglutide?

Semaglutide injections may not be suitable for everyone due to certain factors and medical conditions. Your doctor may not prescribe Semaglutide if you:

- Have a current endocrine tumor or a family history of endocrine tumors
- Have eye disease or vision problems
- Have a history of pancreatitis, kidney disease, or gastrointestinal (GI) issues
- Have thyroid cancer or a family history of thyroid cancer
- Have specific allergies
- Are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding

Your healthcare professional will thoroughly review your medical history and other relevant information to determine if Semaglutide injections are appropriate for you.
What is the duration of Semaglutide usage for weight loss?

Since Semaglutide is a hormone-based medication, it must be taken regularly over an extended period for optimal results. The duration of Semaglutide usage varies based on your starting weight, weight loss goals, and individual response. During your initial consultation with your primary physician or weight loss specialist, this will be discussed in detail.

The FDA recommends gradually increasing the Semaglutide dose to 2.4 mg over 16 to 20 weeks for maximum weight loss benefits. This gradual increase minimizes the likelihood of experiencing side effects like gastrointestinal distress.

You can discontinue Semaglutide injections once your target weight loss is achieved, but it is essential to consult your healthcare provider beforehand. They will guide you through a safe weaning-off process and provide strategies to prevent potential weight regain.
