Semaglutide is an effective medication that has been proven to assist in weight loss and weight management. At ThinWorks, we are excited to address common questions and concerns about this treatment, helping you make an informed decision about your weight loss journey.

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a prescription medication that belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists. It is FDA-approved for both the treatment of type 2 diabetes and weight management in adults who are overweight or obese.

How Does Semaglutide Work?

Semaglutide works by mimicking the action of the hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. It promotes feelings of fullness, reduces hunger, and slows down the emptying of the stomach, ultimately leading to reduced calorie intake and weight loss.

What Are the Side Effects of Semaglutide Injections?

Because Semaglutide slows gastric motility, any gastrointestinal side effects are possible. The most common side effect is nausea, which typically eases after a few days.

How Much Does Semaglutide Cost?

ThinWorks offers 20 weeks of semaglutide at a similar price to a single month of branded products like Ozempic and Wegovy. We also provide low monthly pay-by-the-month options for your convenience.

How Long Can I Take Semaglutide?

There is no limit to how long Semaglutide can be taken. It is recommended that you continue using it until you reach a healthy goal weight. Semaglutide can also be continued to help maintain a healthy weight.

How Often Do I Take Semaglutide Shots?

Semaglutide shots are taken once per week. They can be self-injected at home, or we can administer them for you.

I Only Want To Lose 10-15 Pounds; Do I Really Need 20 Weeks?

Semaglutide is offered for 20 weeks because it must be started at a very low dose and titrated up slowly to minimize side effects. The therapeutic dose is not reached until several weeks after starting. Also, since semaglutide is indicated for both weight loss and maintenance, it can be taken after reaching your goal to maintain your goal weight.

What Type of Diet Do I Need to Be on While Taking Semaglutide?

While there is no specific diet that must be followed while taking semaglutide, eating healthy and including lean proteins, plenty of fiber, and lots of water will help to optimize results.

Do I Need a Prescription for Semaglutide?

Yes, semaglutide is a prescription medication. Our medical professionals at ThinWorks will evaluate your health and determine if semaglutide is appropriate for you.

How Soon Can I Expect To See Weight Loss Results with Semaglutide?

Individual results vary, but most people begin to notice weight loss within the first few weeks of treatment. The full effects of semaglutide are usually seen after several weeks of consistent use.
