Semaglutide 101

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a proven single-action medication that targets GLP-1 receptors, making it highly effective for weight loss. Originally developed for diabetes management, this medication works on key hormonal systems that regulate appetite and blood sugar levels.

Semaglutide is FDA-approved for weight management and has shown remarkable results in clinical trials, with patients losing up to 20% of their body weight when combined with lifestyle modifications.

How does Semaglutide work?

Semaglutide works by targeting the GLP-1 hormone pathway that controls hunger and blood sugar. As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, it naturally regulates glucose levels, slows gastric emptying, and significantly reduces appetite – leading to substantial weight loss.

The single-action mechanism provides proven effectiveness in appetite control, helping patients feel satisfied with smaller portions while improving their overall metabolic health and reducing cravings.

Do you prescribe Semaglutide for weight loss?

Semaglutide is FDA-approved specifically for weight loss and chronic weight management. Our licensed healthcare professionals at Alturas Medical prescribe compounded Semaglutide for patients who meet the appropriate criteria for medical weight loss treatment.

How can Semaglutide help with weight loss? It acts like natural GLP-1 hormones your body uses to regulate blood sugar and appetite—helping you achieve sustainable weight loss by naturally reducing hunger and food cravings.

What makes compounded Semaglutide different?

Compounded Semaglutide contains the same active ingredient as brand-name medications like Wegovy® but is prepared by licensed 503A pharmacies. This allows us to offer personalized dosing and significant cost savings while maintaining the same therapeutic effectiveness.

Our compounded formulations can be customized to include additional beneficial ingredients like Glycine for muscle preservation and Vitamin B6 or B12 for enhanced energy, providing a more comprehensive approach to weight management.

Frequently Asked Questions About Semaglutide

Get answers to common questions about our Semaglutide treatment

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist medication that works by targeting hormonal pathways that regulate appetite and metabolism. It helps you feel full faster, reduces hunger and cravings, and slows stomach emptying, allowing you to eat less without feeling deprived. At Alturas Medical in Meridian, we use compounded Semaglutide as part of a comprehensive medical weight loss program.

Most patients at our Meridian clinic lose between 15-20% of their total body weight with Semaglutide treatment over 6-12 months. For example, someone weighing 200 pounds may lose approximately 30-40 pounds. Individual results vary based on starting weight, adherence to treatment, and other health factors. Our medical team provides realistic expectations during your consultation and monitors your progress throughout treatment.

Semaglutide targets GLP-1 receptors, while Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. Clinical studies have shown that Semaglutide produces excellent weight loss results (15-20% body weight), while Tirzepatide often produces slightly greater results (20-25% body weight). At Alturas Medical in Meridian, we offer both medications and can help determine which is best for your specific needs based on your medical history and weight loss goals.

Common side effects of Semaglutide include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, and abdominal pain. These side effects are typically mild to moderate and often improve over time as your body adjusts to the medication. Our Meridian medical team uses a gradual dose escalation protocol to minimize side effects and provides strategies to manage any discomfort. We closely monitor all patients and adjust treatment as needed to ensure comfort while achieving weight loss goals.

Alturas Medical offers competitive pricing for Semaglutide treatments in Meridian starting at $299 per month. We currently offer $100 off your first month for new patients. The exact cost depends on your personalized treatment plan and duration of treatment. We provide transparent pricing during your consultation with no surprise fees. We also offer various payment options and may be able to help patients navigate insurance coverage when applicable.

Yes, one of our unique advantages at Alturas Medical in Meridian is our combined approach. For patients with hormonal imbalances that contribute to weight gain, we often recommend hormone replacement therapy alongside Semaglutide. This combined approach can enhance results, particularly for patients aged 40-60 experiencing age-related hormonal changes such as menopause or testosterone decline. Our medical team evaluates each patient individually to determine if this approach would be beneficial.

While Semaglutide can produce significant weight loss without strict dieting or intense exercise, making healthy lifestyle choices can enhance your results. Our Meridian team focuses on making weight loss achievable because Semaglutide works effectively by naturally reducing your appetite and food intake. You’ll find yourself naturally eating less and potentially having more energy for light activity, but formal diet and exercise programs are not required for success with our medical weight loss approach.

You can usually start within the same week you contact us. We offer quick 15-minute consultations and pride ourselves on faster appointments than other clinics in the area. For our virtual consultations, appointments are often available even sooner. After your consultation, you can typically begin treatment right away if our Semaglutide program is appropriate for you.
