Medical Disclosure

At Mountain West Medical Clinic, we specialize in weight loss management and offer a weight loss program that includes the use of semaglutide. Semaglutide is a medication that is approved by the FDA for weight management in adults who have a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or higher, and who have at least one weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.

Semaglutide works by mimicking the effects of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is produced naturally in the body. GLP-1 helps to regulate appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and slow down the rate at which food leaves the stomach, which can lead to weight loss.

While Semaglutide has been shown to be effective for weight loss, it is not a magic solution, and it is not appropriate for everyone. Semaglutide may interact with other medications or medical conditions, and it can cause side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, and constipation.

At Mountain West Medical Clinic, we take a personalized approach to weight loss management and work with each patient to determine if semaglutide is an appropriate treatment option for their individual needs. We also provide ongoing support and monitoring to ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatment.

Before beginning treatment with Semaglutide, we will conduct a comprehensive medical evaluation to assess your overall health, including any medical conditions you may have and any medications you are currently taking. We will also discuss the potential risks and benefits of Semaglutide treatment and answer any questions you may have.

If you are interested in learning more about our weight loss program and the use of semaglutide, please contact Mountain West Medical Clinic to schedule a consultation with one of our healthcare providers.
