Additionally, semaglutide may also be prescribed to people with obesity as a weight management aid. It is typically recommended for people with a BMI of 27 or with at least one weight-related health condition, such as high blood pressure, PCOS, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.

Semaglutide for Weight Loss
One of the primary ways semaglutide aids in weight loss is by suppressing appetite. It works by binding to GLP-1 receptors in the brain, sending signals that reduce hunger and increase satiety. This leads to a decreased desire for food, reduced calorie intake, and ultimately contributes to weight loss. Another important mechanism of action of semaglutide is its impact on the reward system in the brain. It helps to regulate the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward. By modulating dopamine levels, semaglutide can help reduce cravings and compulsive eating behaviors.
It is important to note that the decision to prescribe semaglutide will be made by a healthcare professional based on an individual’s medical history, overall health status, and specific needs.
