SEMAGLUTIDE/TIRZEPATIDE/MOUNJARO
Semaglutide is a weight loss supplement founded in 2021. How it works is by triggering your body to release insulin after eating, as well as keeping food in your stomach for a longer period of time, so you’re left feeling fuller for longer. It also works on a receptor in your brain making you think you’re not as hungry as you normally would be.
Patients with a BMI of 27 or greater are good candidates for Semaglutide. There are 4 major reasons we could absolutely not prescribe you Semaglutide:
- Personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer.
- Personal or family history of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2.
- Personal medical history of Type 1 Diabetes.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding.
There are also some cautions that your provider can go through with you during your consult. Now, after knowing all that background information, if you’re interested in scheduling a consult please schedule with us via online booking or by calling us.
NOTE: If you’ve had blood work done within the last 6 months, please bring your lab results in with you during your consult as blood work is required to be completed prior to the start of your medication.
