How Much Does Semaglutide Cost?

Semaglutide is a diabetic medication that has side effects that lead to people on the drug experiencing weight loss from a decrease in appetite. Now used for medical weight loss, Semaglutide injections are very popular. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist, known as a Glucagon-Like Peptide-1, which works on receptors in the brain as well as the pancreas to cause a decrease in appetite along with slowing of the digestion process which leads to feeling full longer. It also has benefits that extend beyond weight loss, including improvement of cholesterol levels, and decreasing blood pressure in those with high blood pressure and those with cardiovascular disorders. When used alongside diet and exercise changes those on Semaglutide have higher weight loss percentages than those who just use diet and exercise alone and carry long-term health improvements by aiding your lifestyle changes.

The cost of Semaglutide can depend on many different factors, from the amount of your dose to the duration you are on the drug. Some MedSpas may also offer discounts for those who have memberships, or they may have promotions available whereas, as an example, if you sign up for a 3-month prescription you could get it at a lower price than paying monthly. With the average cost of Semaglutide prescriptions in the United States ranging from $1,000 per month to $1,500 per month, it is worth discussing with your medical professional the options they have available to you. Your insurance may also cover a small portion, or a large portion of the prescription and it is worth discussing with them beforehand the level of coverage available to you.

Since being approved by the FDA for weight loss, certain criteria need to be met to be able to receive a Semaglutide prescription. Those who have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater are eligible for a Semaglutide prescription those that have a BMI that is less than 30 but greater than 27 can also be eligible for a prescription if they have another condition. Some conditions can make you eligible for Semaglutide with a BMI of 27 such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) as this can make it difficult for women to lose weight with diet and exercise, those who have high blood pressure, and those that have high cholesterol. The best way to determine your eligibility is to talk to one of our weight loss specialists, as they will go over all your medical history and current medical concerns to determine if Semaglutide will be the best weight loss injection medication for you. Certain conditions may make you ineligible for a Semaglutide prescription as there could be potential medication contraindications because of potential side effects, this can also be because these conditions could be worsened usingSemaglutide.

It is hard to give an exact number of the amount of weight you can lose on Semaglutide as everyone is biologically unique so their experience on Semaglutide will be unique as well. Most studies have found that patients will lose approximately 15% of their overall body weight which translates to around 35lbs, however, this was over 68 weeks. Those who follow the diet and exercise recommendations can potentially lose more weight than this, but this is not guaranteed. Even if you lose 15% of your overall body weight, this is 12% higher than those who used only diet and exercise, which will excite many who are struggling to lose weight. The duration of your use of Semaglutide can also be a factor since Semaglutide reduces your appetite while taking it, and some patients report after ending their prescription their appetite returns to normal, which is why most recommend you continue dieting and exercising the same as when you were on Semaglutide.
