Semaglutide

Semaglutide can support weight loss by regulating blood sugar levels and reducing appetite. We offer both injection and oral forms of semaglutide.

What Is It?

Semaglutide is an innovative medication offered at Dripsy IV Bar to help control high blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It belongs to the class of drugs known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, which are essential for regulating blood sugar levels by activating the GLP-1 receptor.

At Dripsy IV Bar, Semaglutide is available as an injectable solution administered once a week or as an oral solution administered under the tongue once daily. Semaglutide has shown remarkable results in weight loss, with many individuals experiencing up to a 15% decrease in weight within just four months of starting treatment.

What's It Good For?

  • Appetite Regulation: Semaglutide mimics the natural hormone GLP-1, which is involved in appetite control. By activating GLP-1 receptors in the brain, it helps reduce hunger and lower calorie intake.
  • Delayed Gastric Emptying: It slows the rate at which food leaves the stomach, leading to a prolonged feeling of fullness.
  • Glucose-Dependent Insulin Secretion: Semaglutide enhances insulin secretion when blood glucose levels are high, improving blood sugar control and reducing the risk of hypoglycemia.
  • Glucagon Suppression: It suppresses the release of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels, thereby helping to lower blood glucose in individuals with diabetes.
  • Energy Expenditure and Lipid Metabolism: Semaglutide may increase energy expenditure and promote fat burning, which can lead to weight loss and improvements in cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
  • Stronger Metabolism: Boosts metabolic rate, leading to increased energy levels.
  • Improved Bone Density: Contributes to healthier bones and reduced risk of osteoporosis.
