Semaglutide shots
Core IV now offers Semaglutide shots to assist patients who are trying to achieve weight loss goals.
What Is a Semaglutide Shot?
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication for Type 2 diabetes by improving insulin resistance, with a side effect of long-term weight loss. It is mostly known under the brand name Ozempic®, but we are offering our own compound and not the Ozempic brand.
At Core IV, we are providing it as a weight loss shot that works by slowing down the gastric emptying. When the stomach takes more time to empty itself of food, it sends signals of “fullness’ to the brain. The result of this process is a powerful appetite suppression effect based on the individual’s own natural insulin production. This will allow the benefit of weight loss without the use of stimulants. Additionally, a Semaglutide regimen will lead to healthier blood sugar levels, which can help patients feel more energetic and may help improve overall health.

How Does Our Semaglutide Shot Differ From Ozempic?
Ozempic is the brand name, whereas Semaglutide is the name of the actual compound/active ingredient itself. As a result, the effects are basically the same, although Ozempic is typically sold at a relatively low dose compared to other typical doses of Semaglutide.
