What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a synthetic glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) that belongs to a group of diabetes medicines called incretin mimetics. Incretins are endogenous compounds, including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), that improve glycemic control once released into the circulation via the gut. Semaglutide subcutaneous injections are used as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).  Semaglutide subcutaneous injections are also used to reduce the risk of non-fatal cardiovascular (CV) events and CV mortality in T2DM patients with CV disease.

How Does the Treatment Process Work?

If you’re interested in semaglutide injections, the first step is a consultation. We will meet with you to discuss your goals, ask you some questions about your medical history, and then confirm that these injections will provide a safe and effective solution to accelerate your weight loss and help you reach your goal weight, so you can maintain your results and live a healthier lifestyle. These injectables are administered weekly throughout the entirety of the treatment plan.

The Injection Process
The injection process is very quick and takes seconds to complete. The needle used to administer the medication is very small and thin and is inserted just below the skin’s surface into the fatty tissue. Unlike intramuscular injections, which are administered with a very long needle into the muscle, these injections are quick, small, and minimally invasive. We will confirm your treatment eligibility and design your treatment plan at your consultation.

At that point, we can give you more details about the injection process and what results you can expect based on your starting weight. We can also give you details about your dosage and how long you’ll need to undergo the treatment process to reach your goal weight.

When Will I Notice the Results?

Patients must have realistic expectations about this treatment and understand that semaglutide injections do not deliver immediate results. It takes time for the body to respond, and it’s important to understand ahead of time that your results will manifest in the weeks following the initiation of your treatment plan, so you can stay committed to your healthy diet and workout routine, knowing that you will soon see changes in your body and your weight.

Enhancing Your Results
Results vary among patients based on several factors. However, regardless of your starting weight and ultimate weight loss goals, there are ways that you can enhance and accelerate your results. This injectable medication works best with other weight management techniques, including a healthy diet, reduced caloric intake, and a regular exercise routine.

So long as you are putting in the work and not solely relying on the injectable to help you lose weight, you can expect to reach your goal weight quickly while improving your overall health and wellness and adopting healthier lifestyle habits.

Am I a Candidate?

The best candidates for semaglutide injections are men and women who want to accelerate results on their weight management plan. If you’re not achieving your desired results through other traditional weight loss techniques, like healthy eating, and regular exercise, these injections can stimulate your body to respond in a way that helps you achieve quick and noticeable results.

Additionally, patients who struggle with an increased appetite, especially when trying to reduce caloric intake, can benefit from this injectable medication. It can increase satiety and reduce appetite, which can also help reduce the occurrence of emotional eating, and help you avoid giving in to food cravings, none of which complement a weight management plan.

Contraindications and adverse effects of Semaglutide:

Patients with a history of angioedema, anaphylaxis, or other severe hypersensitivity reactions to semaglutide are contraindicated for semaglutide. Semaglutide is contraindicated in patients with a personal or familial history of certain varieties of thyroid cancer, namely thyroid C-cell tumors such as medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).

What is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is a weekly injection used to manage type 2 diabetes by reducing blood sugar levels. Despite not yet being approved as a weight loss drug, clinical trials have demonstrated its efficacy in aiding weight loss.

When used together for weight loss, Semaglutide and Tirzepatide work synergistically to amplify their effects. While Semaglutide activates GLP-1 receptors, Tirzepatide goes a step further by activating both GLP-1 and GIP hormone receptors. This dual mechanism results in increased insulin production, decreased glucagon secretion, reduced appetite and energy intake, delayed gastric emptying, and significant weight loss in clinical trials compared to placebo. The combined action of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide offers a promising approach for individuals seeking effective strategies for weight management and improved overall health.

Four clinical trials for weight management were conducted pre-approval. Depending on the clinical trial, more treated participants lost 5% up to 15% of their initial body weight vs. those taking a placebo. 

1. Reduces food intake by lowering appetite.
2. Slows food digestion in the stomach.
3. Decrease body fat percentage.
4. Weight loss.
5. Decreased cardiovascular outcomes in subjects with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
6. Lower HbA1c levels. 
7. Enhance the growth of β cells in the pancreas.

Tirzepatide functions by stimulating not only the GLP-1 but also the GIP hormone receptors. This medication is exclusively intended for adults and should be combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

How frequently must I take it?

Semaglutide is an injection administered at home once per week. The majority of patients lose 8 to 10 pounds in the first month. Patients continue to lose weight as their monthly intake increases. Semaglutide dosage begins at 0.25mg, then increases to 0.5mg, 1mg, 2mg, and finally 2.5mg. The medication will be given, along with needles, syringes, and alcohol pads. The remaining doses are prescribed at each follow-up appointment.

How long must I remain on it?

Until you’re satisfied with your weight!

Contraindications and adverse effects of Tirzepatide

What is Phentermine?

Phentermine is an oral sympathomimetic amine used to treat exogenous obesity for brief durations (e.g., 8–12 weeks). Similar pharmacological effects are produced by phentermine and amphetamines.

Contraindications and Adverse Effects of Phentermine

Clinical effects include stimulation of the central nervous system as well as an increase in blood pressure, pulse rate, anxiety, and insomnia. It is believed that appetite suppression is caused by direct stimulation of the satiety center in the hypothalamus and limbic region. The phentermine capsules and tablets manufacturers state that their products are contraindicated in patients with cardiac disease, advanced arteriosclerosis, moderate to severe hypertension, agitated states, or glaucoma.

What is the function of MIC Lipo Plus Injections?

MIC Lipo Plus Injections are a non-prescription injection that can be used in conjunction with weight loss medication or a healthy diet and exercise regimen. Super Lipo Lean Injections are a convenient method to enhance your weight loss efforts, as they require no prior approval. The combination of ingredients in MIC Lipo Plus Injections is believed to stimulate the metabolism, reduce inflammation, and increase vitality. In addition, some proponents believe that these injections can facilitate the breakdown of fat cells and enhance liver function, improving overall health. These are the constituents of Super Lipo Lean Injections:

Methionine is an essential amino acid that aids in the breakdown of lipids and prevents fat accumulation in the liver. It is also necessary for the production of other essential amino acids and proteins. Methionine may enhance the metabolism and reduce inflammation, which may aid in weight loss.

Inositol is a form of carbohydrate that plays a role in the body’s metabolism of fats and sugars. Additionally, it may help regulate insulin levels and reduce inflammation, which may be advantageous for those attempting to lose weight. It has also been demonstrated that inositol positively impacts mood and may help reduce anxiety and depression, which may contribute to emotional eating.

Choline is an essential nutrient for brain and neuronal function, as well as for liver health. It is also involved in fat metabolism and may improve the liver’s ability to metabolize and excrete fat. Choline may also aid in reducing inflammation and enhancing insulin sensitivity, both of which may promote weight loss. 

Leucine is one of four essential branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) that skeletal muscles can utilize to provide energy during physical activity. A diet rich in complete proteins, such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and milk, can provide adequate amounts of these amino acids.

L-carnitine: L-carnitine is a naturally occurring compound synthesized in the brain, liver, and kidneys that facilitates the conversion of fat into energy, playing an essential role in heart and brain function, muscle movement, and numerous other physiological processes; additionally, the body can convert L-carnitine into other beneficial chemicals such as acetyl-L-carnitine and propionyl-L-carnitine.

Contraindications and side effects of MIC LIPO Plus Injections:

You should not receive these injections if you are sensitive to MIC LIPO Plus Injections or any of its constituents. In addition, individuals with acidosis, liver disease, or inherited optic nerve atrophy should avoid Super Lipo Lean Injections, as they may aggravate these conditions. Notably, Super Lipo Lean Injections have not been extensively researched in pregnant or breastfeeding women, so caution should also be exercised in these situations. If you have any concerns or questions about whether Super Lipo Lean Injections are appropriate for you, you should always consult a licensed healthcare professional.
