Weight loss can be a notoriously difficult undertaking. With diet and exercise not working or viable for everyone, medical weight loss Argyle, TX provides medications that help patients lose weight in a more productive way. Additionally, it helps patients maintain their weight and improve their metabolic health.
Injectco offers semaglutide compounded for weight management through their Argyle, TX location. Patients can come into the office or do everything from home with a virtual appointment and home delivery. The state-of-the-art facility welcomes patients into a friendly and understanding environment. Not only do our providers have experience with injecting and prescribing the medication, but they also are part of training programs for all aesthetic injections including semaglutide injections.
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.
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 more noticeable 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 Injectco to discuss their progress.
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 Injectco are happy to inject the first dose. If feasible, patients can also come into the office weekly for their semaglutide injections. However, Injectco 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.

As with any medication, there are potential side effects. Generally, these side effects tend to be mild and get better as the body adjusts to the new medication. Possible side effects include nausea, diarrhea, upset stomach, and flatulence.

Not necessarily, but the medication works best when patients follow normal portion control and aim to make diet improvements, even if only small ones. Semaglutide does not require perfection, but it does require some effort to see the best possible weight loss results.
Again, while not strictly necessary, patients do tend to see the best outcomes when incorporating exercise into their medical weight loss routines.
Medical weight loss drugs like semaglutide have undergone more extensive studies. They tend to be more effective and less risky than non-medical weight loss programs.
Patients tend to see results after around six months, though many will see results sooner. As far as how long the results last, they usually are long lasting if the patient remains on semaglutide. When coming off the medication, some weight gain is expected, but with adequate diet and exercise, patients can keep the weight off.
