The Digital Semaglutide Program For Your Patients

Weight management has long been a challenging area of medicine. As a doctor, you’re advising your patients that long-term weight loss success involves a long-term commitment, but patients often struggle with adhering to a new healthy lifestyle, and will give up if they don’t see their hard work pay off. However, a promising medication called Semaglutide has recently emerged as a game-changer in the field of weight loss. Semaglutide gives patients the kickstart they need for initial weight loss success. By combining use of Semaglutide with healthy lifestyle principles, patients can experience weight loss success in the long term.

BodySite is excited to announce the addition of a digital “Semaglutide Weight Loss” program template to its care plans library. If you’re using Tirzepatide instead, click here to learn more.

This program will help you educate your patients on how to use the medication and how they can keep the weight off for good with lifestyle change. In today’s article, we’ll explore what Semaglutide is, its benefits, and go over the incredible features of the new Semaglutide Weight Loss Program offered by BodySite. Marketing materials included.

What Is Semaglutide?

The Semaglutide medication is administered via patient injection in the arm, stomach, or upper leg. When prescribed to the right candidates, patients achieve dramatic weight loss results in a way that is both healthy and sustainable.

Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). It mimics the GLP-1 hormone, which plays a role in appetite and digestion. Initially used for managing Type 2 diabetes, Semaglutide has demonstrated an additional remarkable benefit—it suppresses appetite and aids weight loss in people who are obese or overweight.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the medication under the brand name Wegovy for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition in June 2021. As demand and research on the drug has increased, some healthcare providers have begun using other brands of semaglutide and/or compounded semaglutide.

What Are the Benefits of Semaglutide for Weight Loss?

Semaglutide offers many benefits for patients seeking weight loss. The most notable benefit patients receive from use of Semaglutide is significant weight loss in a short amount of time. In one study conducted, 175 patients with overweight or obesity, the total body weight loss percentages achieved were 5.9% at 3 months and 10.9% at 6 months [1] Another study conducted by Novo Nordisk determined that weight loss of 15-18% was reported for people treated with Semaglutide 2.4 mg. over the course of a 15 month period [2].

However, it’s not just the number on the scale that improves for patients, Semaglutide has been found to improve various metabolic health markers, including blood sugar control, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. By addressing these factors, patients may experience a holistic improvement in their overall health profile.

Use of the medication also reduced the risk of weight-related health conditions. Losing weight through Semaglutide treatment can significantly reduce the risk of developing weight-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. By taking proactive steps towards weight management, patients can enhance their long-term health outcomes.

On top of all the benefits, Semaglutide is relatively convenient to use. It isn’t administered daily, but instead is administered as a once-weekly injection. This administration frequency offers patients a more convenient option compared to multiple daily medications, enhancing adherence and ease of use.
