Semaglutide is intended as a long-term weight loss treatment. When a patient begins to take Semaglutide they do so at a lower dose, for this reason, the weight loss benefits may not begin to manifest for up to 8 weeks. However, it is not uncommon for individuals to begin to experience the effects sooner.   Semaglutide may be continued for longer than 68 weeks in certain circumstances, particularly when patients have an underlying condition that impacts their ability to manage their weight without the medication.   Adopting healthy lifestyle changes including dietary changes and regular exercise can help patients keep off the weight they lost even after they discontinue their usage of Semaglutide.   Semaglutide injections are available at Memorial Health Urgent Care and Infusions.
