Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, now widely used as a highly effective option for medical weight loss. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in the body called GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite, slow digestion, and improve blood sugar control.
At Lite Medical, we may offer semaglutide therapy as part of a comprehensive weight management program—providing medical supervision, lifestyle guidance, and ongoing support to help you achieve lasting results here. Lite Medical does not dispense brand-name Ozempic® or Wegovy®. When semaglutide is prescribed, it may be provided in compounded form by a licensed pharmacy.
