Semaglutidein Miami, FL

Once you request an appointment to discuss semaglutide for weight loss, the process begins with a consultation where we get to know you. It gives you the opportunity to ensure we’re a good match for you, and we can learn more about your situation, including what you’ve tried in the past and your medical history, to determine if a medicated approach to weight loss is ideal for you.

We’ll use your height and weight to calculate your BMI and determine if it falls within the range that qualifies you for semaglutide. You’ll need to get a blood pressure reading.

If all goes well, we’ll move you on to the next step, where you’ll need to have bloodwork completed. During this test, we check your liver and kidney health because semaglutide can cause problems with either. As we review your results, we’ll also examine your blood glucose, cholesterol, and other markers that provide insight into your overall health.

After we clear you for treatment, you can start receiving injections. We begin you on the lowest dosage and will gradually increase it to the target one to maximize your chances of the best outcome while minimizing your risk of side effects.

We can give you the injections to administer at home. You’ll have to give it to yourself once per week, usually. Don’t fret if you’ve never given yourself an injection before. We’ll show you the process, the sites to choose (in your thigh or abdomen), and everything else you need to know to make it easy. Fortunately, you won’t need to pull the syringe because every one of them is prefilled.

As mentioned, we’re here for you every step of the way, so you’ll need to return for follow-ups to monitor your progress, check for any adverse effects, provide continuous support as you lose weight, and adjust your dose as necessary.
