Semaglutide is also approved for weight loss treatment in adults who are overweight or have obesity with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or greater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mechanism of action for semaglutide’s weight loss effects is thought to involve the activation of specific brain regions that control appetite and food intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Semaglutide is believed to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, leading to a reduction in caloric intake and subsequent weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clinical studies have demonstrated that treatment with semaglutide can result in significant weight loss in individuals with obesity. In a large clinical trial involving over 1,900 participants with obesity, those treated with semaglutide lost an average of 15% of their body weight over a 68-week period, compared to an average of 2.4% weight loss in the placebo group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As with any medication, semaglutide for weight loss is not suitable for everyone and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It is important to note that weight loss with semaglutide is most effective when combined with lifestyle modifications, such as a healthy diet and regular exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
