Semaglutide
Purefico Medspa & Therapy presents Semaglutide—an FDA-approved medication for weight loss. Obesity, a pressing public health concern, affects over 42% of U.S. adults, increasing the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. It also burdens individuals with reduced quality of life and elevated healthcare costs. Semaglutide, a member of the GLP-1 medication class, addresses this issue by suppressing appetite and promoting a sense of fullness. Originally developed for diabetes and marketed as Ozempic, Semaglutide received FDA approval for weight loss in 2021, now available under the name Wegovy.

The increased popularity of prescription weight loss medications can be attributed to the growing dissemination of information regarding their benefits. As research progresses and awareness spreads, more individuals recognize their potential as a tool for weight loss.
It is essential to note, however, that these medications are not a “magic bullet” for weight loss. They are designed to complement a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. Prior to starting any weight loss medication, it is crucial to consult with a qualified medical professional.
