Over the decades, only a few obsesity medications have received approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), namely naltrexone-bupropion combination, phentermine-topiramate combination, orlistat, setmelanotide, liraglutide, and semaglutide [12,13,14]. Semaglutide injections for weight loss are the most recent game changer in medically-based weight management. Found as a happy side benefit of use for treatment of diabetes, Physician’s Plan Weight Loss is providing semaglutide in a customized weight loss plan for approved candidates.
Obesity is a complex and chronic disease and has a wide array of complications, including hypertension, hypercholesteremia, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers. Lifestyle interventions, comprising physical activity, reduced calorie diets, and behavioral therapy, have been the principal pillars in the management of obesity.
Semaglutide blocks glucagon release, postpones gastric clearing, reduces energy intake, stimulates satiety, and reduces hunger and appetite. Semaglutide was initially approved for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The observation that the GLP-1 reduced body weight prompted its expansion to the treatment of obesity.
