Semaglutide Brands at Botox Bar Argyle, TX

Semaglutide and similar medications come under a variety of brand names. Semaglutide is best known under the name Ozempic—which historically has been prescribed for the treatment of type II diabetes—and Wegovy refers to the medication prescribed for the weight loss indication. Ozempic and Wegovy are both administered through weekly injections. Rybelsus comes as a daily pill version of semaglutide.

Tirzepatide belongs to the same class of medications as semaglutide, but is a different medication. Known under the brand name of Mounjaro, tirzepatide mimics two hormones versus semaglutide which only activates one. Each medication is considered safe and effective for weight loss. However, individuals may find they respond better to one medication than the other.

How Is Semaglutide Administered

The most common way that semaglutide is injected is through a subcutaneous injection. This involves injecting it just below the skin and into the fatty tissues of the upper arm, stomach, or thigh. This can be done at home either by a patient or by another member of the household. While it can be daunting to consider injecting medication yourself, most patients adapt to it well and will have a demonstration.

The injectors at Botox Bar are happy to inject the first dose. If feasible, patients can also come into the office weekly for their semaglutide injections. However, Botox Bar does offer a home delivery program that makes it extremely convenient to inject the medication yourself.

As previously mentioned, there is an oral form of semaglutide available, but it does tend to be more expensive than the injectable forms. It also needs to be taken daily versus the weekly injections.

Who Should (And Should Not) Take Semaglutide For Weight Loss?

Semaglutide compounded for weight weight management is generally considered a safe medication for most patients. In general, the recommendations note that semaglutide is ideal for patients who have a BMI above 30, or a BMI of 27 or over with a weight-related medical condition. These are simply guidelines on who would most benefit from the medication, and people outside of these guidelines may occasionally be good candidates for semaglutide injections.

As for who should not take semaglutide, it mostly includes patients with certain medical conditions. Firstly, since semaglutide is used as a treatment for type II diabetes, it is not suitable for anyone with type I diabetes, even if prescribed for weight loss. Patients with certain rare thyroid conditions or those with a family history of specific thyroid cancers should take semaglutide. Also, people with a history of gallbladder disease or pancreatitis may not be candidates for semaglutide depending on the specifics.

Finally, people who are of a healthy BMI likely do not need to take semaglutide. There are potential exceptions to this for medical treatment or ongoing weight management, but generally, patients of a healthy BMI are unlikely to benefit from semaglutide injections.

Semaglutide in Argyle, TX: What Can I Expect?

Firstly, after the initial consultation, patients can expect to either come into the office for their first semaglutide dose, or receive their medication at home. The medication is injected under the skin and the dosage may be raised over time to account for potential side effects and your body’s adjustment to the medication.

Patients may begin to notice weight loss in as little as a few months. However, patients tend to see the best results after having been on the medication for more than six months. Significant weight loss will take time, but is usually faster than when losing weight purely with diet and exercise. Patients will continue to check in with their provider at Botox Bar to discuss their progress.
