At Altmed Medical Center, located conveniently at 8551 Rixlew Lane Suite 140A, we offer Semaglutide (GLP-1) therapy—an FDA-approved treatment that’s helping people lose significant weight safely and sustainably.

What Is Semaglutide (GLP-1) Therapy?

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved injectable medication that mimics a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). It helps control appetite, blood sugar, and digestion. This makes weight loss easier and more sustainable.

Who Can Benefit From Semaglutide?

• Adults with BMI ≥ 30 (obesity)
• Adults with BMI ≥ 27 and weight-related conditions like:
•  Type 2 diabetes
•  High blood pressure
•  High cholesterol

Your healthcare provider at Altmed Medical Center will evaluate your health and discuss if Semaglutide is right for you.

How Does Semaglutide Work?

• Reduces hunger and cravings by acting on appetite centers in the brain
• Slows stomach emptying, helping you feel full longer
• Improves blood sugar control, reducing insulin spikes

Patients typically lose up to 15% of body weight when combined with diet and exercise.

What to Expect During Treatment?

• Weekly self-injection under the skin (subcutaneous)
• Gradual dose increase to minimize side effects
• Regular follow-ups to monitor progress and adjust treatment
