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.
Before starting Semaglutide treatment, patients will undergo a thorough pre-screening process to ensure its safety and suitability. This may include:
Medical History Review: Our healthcare providers will review your medical history, including any existing health conditions and medications you are currently taking.
Physical Examination: A physical examination may be conducted to assess your overall health status and identify any potential risk factors.
At Zenith Family Health, we are committed to providing comprehensive and personalized care to our patients. With the addition of Semaglutide to our range of treatment options, we look forward to helping you achieve better health and well-being.
