Semaglutide 2.4 mg administered once weekly via subcutaneous injection significantly reduces body weight in adults with obesity or overweight when used as an adjunct to lifestyle modifications.
If you have obesity or overweight with a related health condition, ask your doctor about Semaglutide 2.4 mg. It is taken as a once-weekly injection alongside diet and exercise. Expect significant weight loss (around 15% in trials), but be prepared for temporary stomach issues like nausea, which usually get better over time.
