What Is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide, commonly known by brand names like Ozempic and WeGovy, is a medication that was originally designed to help people living with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It mimics the effects of the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which stimulates the release of insulin to control blood sugar. This process limits gluconeogenesis, or glucose production, in the liver and slows gastric emptying, helping users feel fuller, longer.
Semaglutide is a powerful tool in managing diabetes and losing weight — combined with diet and exercise, many users see drastic changes in their weight in weeks or months. And because it has an extremely long half-life in the body, it can be administered in a simple once-a-week injection.

NeuMed Modern Urgent Care + IV Therapy is committed to helping you achieve wellness in a way that suits your lifestyle. However busy you are, we make Semaglutide accessible for you for as long as you choose to use it. When you sign up for our services, you'll have two options for treatment:
- In-clinic: Your weekly injections will be administered by one of our experienced NeuMed clinicians at our clinic.

Regardless of your choice, it all starts with a visit to one of our providers for your initial consultation. You'll work closely with our team so we can understand your weight loss goals and give you the right dosage and solutions.

We will then prescribe your injections and schedule your weekly or monthly appointments. You can learn more about our pricing below.
