Semaglutide is changing the way people with chronic weight management issues lose weight, learn how you can afford it even without insurance coverage!

Achieving a healthy weight is important for long-term health and is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and related diseases. However, many people struggle with losing weight and keeping it off with diet and exercise alone.

Finally, a drug that is addressing chronic weight management and obesity, and delivering results! A recent study showed that adults with obesity had a mean weight loss of 14.9 percent with Semaglutide as an adjunct to lifestyle intervention. 

Known under the brand names Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy, Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist. It mimics hormones in the body that are responsible for increasing insulin secretion. It was originally developed as a medication for type 2 Diabetes but its benefits for weight loss have gained it huge popularity.

When Semaglutide is administered at a higher dose, it suppresses appetite in the brain. Making it an effective solution for weight loss.

Insurance won’t cover Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy for Weight Loss.

Since the medication semaglutide was first developed for the treatment of type 2 Diabetes, many insurances still will not cover the prescription, brand name, or generic, for weight loss. The retail price for a dose of Semaglutide is on average more than $1,000, hardly making it affordable for people who could truly benefit from this drug.

The FDA has approved Semaglutide at higher doses for the treatment of obesity and chronic weight management.
