If you’ve never heard of weight loss injections before, you may have some questions. Fortunately, Refresh Pain + Wellness is here to help answer them. Semaglutide is a relatively new type of weight loss medication that is a once-weekly injection. It provides dramatic yet impressive results, so we recommend it for patients who have a considerable amount of weight to lose. Semaglutide, in combination with a strict weight loss plan, has helped patients lose between 50 and 100 pounds.

As one of the few FDA-approved weight loss injections, Semaglutide works by stimulating the pancreas to encourage insulin production. As a result, the stomach’s emptying time gets increased, which signals a feeling of fullness to the brain. Not only is Semaglutide effective in suppressing appetite, but it can also improve blood sugar levels.

• Common side effects of Semaglutide injections include:

• Loss of appetite

• Nausea

• Fatigue or weakness

However, these side effects typically subside as the body adjusts to the medication. In some cases, patients may experience problems such as pancreatitis and an increased risk of thyroid tumors. If you experience either of these concerns, please let your doctor know right away and stop taking Semaglutide.

When taking our FDA-approved weight loss injection as part of a weight loss plan, it’s important that patients carefully follow the meal plan provided by their doctor. In addition, regular exercise should be completed as directed. Exercising regularly aids in the effectiveness of the weight loss injections and helps patients control their weight loss journeys.
