Weight Loss Injections

Semaglutide and Trizepatide: The New Weight-Loss Injectable

Experience the "game-changing" medicine that has taken the world by storm - Semaglutide or Trizepatide can help you lose weight with a once-weekly injection. The Retreat is proud to offer a provider-supervised Medical Weight Loss program to ensure you are losing weight safely and effectively.

Semaglutide and Trizepatide are FDA approved injectable solutions for adults looking to lose weight.

Semaglutide and Trizepatide are glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist that is administered once weekly. It plays an important role in controlling your appetite as well as your digestion. It is an incretin hormone and these hormones are released by the small intestine and then sent out to the body after you’ve eaten a meal to help lower your blood sugar. When the blood sugar is decreased this triggers insulin and then other sugar sources are blocked. 

Weight loss injections function by slowing gastric emptying, delaying the exit of food from the stomach. This dual mechanism leads to a faster sense of fullness, reducing appetite and facilitating weight loss.


Treat Yourself at Home

The way that this injection is administered is after you receive a consultation and dosage instructions from your provider, you will then inject 1 pre-drawn syringe yourself once a week. Medication is injected subcutaneously, under the skin into your abdomen where there is more fat tissue. The goal of this injectable is to lose 1-2 lbs per week. But it is important to monitor how you feel to make sure you’re on the right dose and also you don’t feel any negative effects such as nausea or vomiting.

 

  • Gastrointestinal (GI) side effects tend to happen most frequently when using this medication — the most common being nausea, constipation, and vomiting. You may experience these effects more strongly when your provider raises your dose.
