Semaglutide

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is the generic name for the medication used in Ozempic and Wegove.  It is an injectable medication prescribed to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes and to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, or death in adults with type 2 diabetes with known heart disease and now, is FDA approved for use in weight loss.

It is not known if Semaglutide can be used in people who have had pancreatitis, or if it is safe and effective for use in children under the age of 18 years.
Semaglutide is not for use in people with type 1 diabetes.

Semaglutide is a prescription medication.

Do not share your Semaglutide syringes with other people, even if the needle has been changed. You may give other people a serious infection or get a serious infection from them.

How does Semaglutide work?

Semaglutide is the active ingredient found in Ozempic and Wegove, which works by inducing satiety.  This is the feeling of being satisfied or “full” and it suppresses the appetite. This is why it works for weight loss.

 Semaglutide also helps the pancreas produce insulin, which is how it helps manage type 2 diabetes. Our body needs insulin to move the glucose (or blood sugar) we get from food inside cells, so we can use it as energy.

Semaglutide also works by mimicking the role of a natural hormone, called GLP-1 (glucagon like peptide-1) normally produced in response to detecting nutrients when we eat. GLP-1 is part of the signaling pathway that tells your body you have eaten and prepare it to use the energy that comes from your food.

 

What are the side effects of Semaglutide?

The most common side effects of Semaglutide may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach (abdominal) pain, and constipation.

Other possible side effects include:

  • inflammation of your pancreas (pancreatitis). Stop using Semaglutide and call your health care provider right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that will not go away, with or without vomiting. You may feel the pain from your abdomen to your back.
  • changes in vision. Tell your health care provider if you have changes in vision while taking Semaglutide.
  • low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Your risk for getting low blood sugar may be higher if you use Semaglutide with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar, such as sulfonylurea or insulin. Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar may include dizziness or lightheadedness, blurred vision, anxiety, irritability or mood changes, sweating, slurred speech, hunger, confusion or drowsiness, shakiness, weakness, headache, fast heartbeat, and feeling jittery.
  • kidney problems (kidney failure). In people who have kidney problems, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting may cause a loss of fluids (dehydration), which may cause kidney problems to get worse. It is important for you to drink fluids to help reduce your chance of dehydration.
  • serious allergic reactions. Stop using Semaglutide and get medical help right away if you have any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat; problems breathing or swallowing; severe rash or itching; fainting or feeling dizzy; or very rapid heartbeat.
  • gallbladder problems. Gallbladder problems have happened in some people who take Semaglutide. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get symptoms which may include pain in your upper stomach (abdomen), fever, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), or clay-colored stools.

 

Semaglutide may cause serious side effects, including:

  • Possible thyroid tumors, including cancer. Tell your health care provider if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath. These may be symptoms of thyroid cancer. In studies with rodents, Semaglutide caused thyroid tumors, including thyroid cancer. It is not known if Semaglutide will cause thyroid tumors, or a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in people. 
  • Do not use Semaglutide if you or any of your family have ever had Medullary Thyroid Cancer, or if you have an endocrine system condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).  MEN2 Syndrome usually causes tumors in the thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, or adrenal gland. 
  • Do not use Semaglutide if you are allergic to Semaglutide

Before using Semaglutide tell your health care provider if you have any other medical conditions, including if you:

  • Currently have or have had problems with your pancreas or kidneys. 
  • have a history of diabetic retinopathy.
  • are pregnant or breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant or breastfeed. You should stop using Semaglutide 2 months before you plan to become pregnant.

Tell your health care provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbal supplements, and other medicines to treat diabetes, including insulin or sulfonylureas.

Phentermine

Control Your Appetite

Phentermine

Phentermine, an amphetamine-like prescription medication, is used to suppress the appetite and aid weight loss by reducing hunger or prolonging the feeling of fullness. It is typically prescribed alongside our HCG diet for clients who still experience hunger. Please note that some potential side effects may arise, including dizziness, dry mouth, difficulty sleeping, irritability, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. Additionally, phentermine may elevate blood pressure, making it unsuitable for individuals with high blood pressure. Contact us at Rejuvenation Aesthetic Medicine in Elk Grove, CA to learn more about phentermine and its potential benefits for you.

“We found the HCG diet to be absolutely amazing! We lost not only pounds, but inches as well. Best of all, it was really easy to follow. We did the diet together which made it easier because of the mutual support. We would very highly recommend this diet to anyone who has had difficulty losing weight and or keeping weight off.”
Thank you to everyone at Rejuvenation for all the help with the HCG diet. I started the diet in December and in March, I am 36 pounds lighter and 39 inches smaller. I went down 4 sizes and I feel great. The diet was very easy to follow. I think this diet is great for anyone who has struggled with other diets and needs to see quick results. You do have to be willing to stick to it and make a sacrifice for a short time. Believe me, the result is worth it. Thanks for everything!

I’m so excited about my results that I have gotten from the HCG diet! I truly feel like myself again. Since I started the program I have lost 65 lbs. I can’t believe the transformation my body has gone through…truly amazing! Thank you to everyone for all your help and support!

Mandy

I’ve battled with my weight since the 8th grade. I lost over 50 pounds and a total of 40.25 inches on the HCG diet. My BMI went down from 34.6 to 27.6. I have dropped 4 sizes and I feel wonderful!! My hips and back no longer ache as they did before, nor do the heels of my feet. I feel like I have the old me back. Thinner, wiser and definitely more food cautious. I can’t THANK YOU enough for your constant support and positive reinforcement that I received each week during this rewarding journey.

Julie

I have attempted to lose weight and get in shape for over 7 years. I went on the HCG diet and the results are so rapid that you just can’t wait for the next morning’s weight check! I went through the 30 days and lost 22.5 inches and 22.2 pounds. This is exactly the quick result and kick start that I needed.
