Semaglutide

Semaglutide represents a significant advancement in the management of certain health conditions, offering our patients a promising avenue towards better health and well-being. Let us introduce you to this remarkable medication and how it can benefit you.

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide, widely recognized by the brand name Ozempic, is a powerful medication belonging to a class known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. Although Ozempic is a popular brand, the active ingredient, Semaglutide, is the key to its effectiveness. This medication works by mimicking the action of a naturally occurring hormone in the body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). By activating GLP-1 receptors, Semaglutide helps lower blood sugar levels, improve insulin sensitivity, and significantly reduce appetite, which can lead to substantial weight loss. While many are familiar with Ozempic, at Zenith Family Health, we offer the same benefits through the generic form, Semaglutide, making this treatment more accessible to our patients. Semaglutide is administered through a once-weekly injection, providing a convenient option for those seeking effective management of diabetes and weight.
