Have you tried every diet to lose weight? Are you tired of counting calories? Have you been exercising and eating right and are still holding on to the pounds?  Semaglutide might be the solution you’ve been looking for. Semaglutide is compounded at a 503 B pharmacy for office use at Nouveau Medspas.

What Is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a medically monitored and administered treatment that involves weekly injections at our medical office. It is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, a type of medication that mimics the action of natural GLP-1 in the body.

How Does Semaglutide Work?

This medication works by:
Slowing  down gastric emptying so you feel full
Decreases the production of glucose from your liver and muscle lowering your blood sugar
Directly triggers a feeling of fullness in your brain
Increases insulin production only if your blood sugar is high
Compounded at sterile pharmacies for office use

What Does Semaglutide Treat?

When combined with a healthy, low-calorie diet and exercise, semaglutide is primarily used for the following purposes:

• Managing blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes
• Aiding weight loss in adults who are overweight

By addressing these issues, semaglutide can significantly improve the quality of life and overall health of those who use it.

Who Are Good Candidates for Semaglutide at Nouveau Medspas?

Semaglutide may be an ideal treatment option if you:

• Are looking to lose weight either 10 lbs or 100 lbs. The longer you stay on the medication the more weight you will lose. You do not need to have any medical problems to start on Semaglutide.
• Concerned that you may be developing metabolic syndrome or pre-diabetes 
• You have a hard time curbing your appetite and tend to overeat. Semaglitude makes you feel full so you simply will not overeat because you will be full

Schedule your consultation with Dr Rubin to determine if you’re a good candidate for Semaglutide.

Who Should Not Take Semaglutide?

While semaglutide can be an effective treatment option for many individuals, it’s not suitable for everyone. You may not be a good candidate for semaglutide if:

You have a history of Pancreatitis or currently have gallbladder disease with active gallstone 

• You’re pregnant or planning to become pregnant. 
  • The effects of semaglutide on pregnancy and the developing baby are not well studied, so it’s best to avoid this medication if you’re expecting or trying to conceive.
• You have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (a type of thyroid cancer) or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (a disease that increases the risk of certain types of tumors). 
  • Semaglutide can potentially increase the risk of these conditions.

• You have severe kidney disease. 
  • Semaglutide is eliminated from the body by the kidneys, so if your kidneys aren’t working well, the drug might not be processed and removed from your body as it should be. This could lead to higher levels of the drug in your system, increasing your risk of side effects.
• You’re allergic to semaglutide or any of the ingredients in the medication. 
  • An allergic reaction could lead to severe side effects, such as facial, lip or throat swelling and difficulty breathing.

This list isn’t exhaustive, and other health conditions may also influence whether semaglutide is suitable for you. We encourage you to discuss your complete medical history with  Dr. Rubin before starting semaglutide.

At Nouveau MedSpas, our highly experienced and knowledgeable doctors can help you weigh the potential benefits and risks to make the best decision for your health.
