SEMAGLUTIDE
WEIGHT LOSS SHOT



The First FDA-Approved Weight Loss Solution in The Woodlands and Katy, Texas.

WHAT IS SEMAGLUTIDE

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist. This mimics the action of the natural hormone GLP-1 in the body. GLP-1 is produced by the intestine in response to food, and it stimulates the release of insulin. This helps to lower blood sugar levels. Semaglutide is administered as a once per week injection, and it has been shown to reduce body weight, improve blood sugar control, and lower the risk of cardiovascular events.

How does Semaglutide work?

Semaglutide works for weight loss by reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness or satiety. It is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which means that it mimics the action of the natural hormone GLP-1 in the body. GLP-1 is produced by the intestine in response to food and it stimulates the release of insulin. This helps lower blood sugar levels. GLP-1 delays the emptying of the stomach and reduces food intake by increasing feelings of fullness.

In addition to these effects, semaglutide also acts on areas of the brain that regulate food intake and appetite. Specifically, it activates neurons in the hypothalamus, which regulates the area of the brain responsible for hunger and satiety. This leads to a decrease in appetite and food intake, which can help people to lose weight.

Overall, the combination of these effects makes semaglutide an effective tool for weight loss in adults with obesity or overweight. It is especially effective when combined with a nutritious diet and regular exercise routine.

How is semaglutide aministered?

Semaglutide is administered as a subcutaneous injection (under the skin) once a week at either of our Woodlands or Katy locations. The small insulin needle is inserted under the skin in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Semaglutide should be taken at the same time each week, and it can be taken with or without food.

How long before I see results?

The length of time it takes to see results from semaglutide can vary depending on individual factors such as the person's starting weight, diet, exercise habits, and other health conditions. In clinical trials, people who took semaglutide for weight management typically saw significant weight loss within the first few months of treatment.

Please note that individual results may vary, and that weight loss may not be seen in every person who takes semaglutide. Additionally, weight loss may plateau after a certain point, and it is important for patients to continue to follow a healthy diet and exercise program in order to maintain their weight loss over time.

  • Semaglutide injections are suitable for individuals who are overweight or obese, especially those who may also suffer from weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes. A consultation with our healthcare providers at Intra-V will help determine if Semaglutide is appropriate for you.

  • Semaglutide injections should not be stopped without consulting your healthcare provider. Gradual changes might be recommended, and ongoing management may be necessary to maintain weight loss.

  • Semaglutide can often be used alongside other medications, but it's important to let your healthcare provider know all the medications you are currently taking. Some drugs may interact with Semaglutide, requiring adjustments to doses or treatment plans.

Wear comfortable clothing that can easily expose the area where the injection will be administered, such as your abdomen or thigh.

  • If you miss a weekly dose of Semaglutide, it's important to take it as soon as you remember if it's within a day or two of the missed dose.

Always consult with your healthcare provider for guidance specific to your treatment schedule.

  • Stopping Semaglutide abruptly can lead to weight regain, as the underlying issues with appetite and metabolism may resurface.
