THE TREATMENT
Semaglutide is a weight loss drug that has recently had extensive clinical studies to prove its safety
and efficacy. It is an injectable medication that increases your satiety and reduces your food intake.
It works by mimicking the effects of insulin in your body which helps slow down the emptying of your
stomach and signaling your brain that your stomach is full, as a result you feel full for longer
periods of time and eat less. This is not a quick fix though; you still have to make smart food choices
and get your body moving every day. Semaglutide is a once-a-week injection that can easily fit into
your busy schedule. The benefits help reduce hunger pangs and help you lose weight faster when you
combine the injections with a low-calorie diet. It is best to take medication at night.

RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS
Before undergoing this procedure, understanding the risks are essential. No procedure is completely
risk-free. The following risks may occur, but there may be unforeseen risks and risks that are not
included on this list. Semaglutide may cause serious side effects, including: inflammation of your
pancreas (pancreatitis). Stop using Semaglutide and call your service provider if you have severe
pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that will not go away, with or without vomiting. You may feel the
pain from your abdomen to your back. Semaglutide may cause gallbladder problems, including gallstones.
Call your service provider if you have symptoms such as pain in your upper stomach (abdomen), fever,
yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), or clay-colored stools. Increased risk of low blood sugar
(hypoglycemia) in patients with type 2 diabetes, especially those who also take medicines for type 2
diabetes such as sulfonylureas or insulin. This can be both a serious and common side effect. Talk to
your service provider about how to recognize and treat low blood sugar and check your blood sugar
before you start and while you take Semaglutide. Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar may include
dizziness or light-headedness, blurred vision, anxiety, irritability or mood changes, sweating, slurred
speech, hunger, confusion or drowsiness, shakiness, weakness, headache, fast heartbeat or feeling
jittery. In people who have kidney problems, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting may cause a loss of fluids
(dehydration) which may cause kidney problems to get worse. It is important for you to drink fluids to help
reduce your chance of dehydration. Stop using Semaglutide and get medical help right away, if you have any
symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat;
problems breathing or swallowing; severe rash or itching; fainting or feeling dizzy; or very rapid
heartbeat. Tell your service provider if you have changes in vision during treatment. Semaglutide can
increase your heart rate while you are at rest. Tell your service provider if you feel your heart racing
or pounding in your chest and it lasts for several minutes. You should pay attention to any mental
changes, especially sudden changes in your mood, behaviors, thoughts, or feelings. Call your service
provider right away if you have any mental changes that are new, worse, or worry you.
