Semaglutide Injections
Powerful Weight Loss Medicine
Semaglutide is a medication that helps people lose weight. Originally developed to manage blood sugar in people with diabetes, it now also helps people who are overweight or obese.
Studies have shown that people who take semaglutide prescription weight loss medicine have been successful in losing up to 15% of their body weight. That means a person who weighs 200 pounds loses an average of 30 pounds using semaglutide. Each person is different and could lose more weight or less weight.
How does Semaglutide Work?
Semaglutide mimics a natural hormone called GLP-1. This hormone helps control blood sugar and reduces appetite. When you take semaglutide, it tricks your body into thinking it's full, which helps you eat less. By combining semaglutide with diet and exercise, many people experience significant weight loss.
Who Can Benefit from Semaglutide?
Many adults struggling with obesity can benefit from semaglutide. It's particularly helpful for those with conditions linked to obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. However, it's essential to consult with Dr. Nobles office to determine if semaglutide is right for you.

Yes, semaglutide is the active ingredient in Ozempic. Both medications are GLP-1 agonists that help regulate blood sugar and can aid in weight loss. However, Ozempic is specifically approved for treating type 2 diabetes, while Wegovy (another semaglutide-based medication) is approved for weight management.
Compounded semaglutide is a version of the medication that is created by a pharmacy to meet specific patient needs. Unlike brand-name options like Ozempic or Wegovy, compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved. It may be offered at a lower cost but lacks the same level of quality control and regulation.
Brand-name vs. compounded semaglutide: Brand-name options like Ozempic and Wegovy tend to be more expensive than compounded semaglutide.
Insurance coverage: If your insurance covers the medication, your out-of-pocket cost will be lower.
Dosage: Higher doses generally cost more.
Pharmacy or healthcare provider: Different providers may offer varying prices.
Typically, brand-name options without insurance can cost thousands of dollars per month. Compounded semaglutide may be a more affordable option, often ranging from a few hundred to a thousand dollars per month.
