Successfully achieving an ideal weight can become a serious problem, especially if you try to do so without professional advice. Most studies on the subject recommend consulting a medical professional who can guide you through the entire process.
At MediCruz we offer our patients a specialized weight loss program with favorable results.
Our program is designed on the basis of a preliminary review of the most recent studies on weight loss and is made up of three fundamental pillars;
The use of semaglutide/Vit B complex, personalized medical follow-up and lifestyle change plans (diet/exercise).
In this way the patient will be able to receive a drug approved by the FDA to be used with the objective of losing weight; will have a step by step medical follow-up in each phase of the program and diet and exercise plans adjusted to the needs; possibilities and expectations of each patient.
Do you want to lose 20 pounds in a short time?
If you want to Lose weight fast in Tampa, semaglutide may be the assured answer to this question.
Semaglutide is the first drug of its kind to be given once a week and is FDA approved to help with chronic weight management. It works best when used in combination with a healthy diet and exercise.
The largest clinical trial showed that adults who took semaglutide lost an average of 15% to 18% of their initial body weight, about 12% more than those who did not take the drug.
Can be used by adults with a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 30 mg/kg² alone or 27 mg/kg² with at least one weight-related condition, e.g., high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol or type 2 diabetes.
Semaglutide can have side effects, the most common of which are nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, vomiting, indigestion or constipation, stomach pain and headache.
The most serious described are associated with the potential risk of pancretitis; gallbladder disease, renal disease and the possibility of occurrence of C-cell tumors of the thyroid.
The latter risk has been seen in animal studies, but has not been confirmed in humans.
Because of this, the FDA advises that semaglutide be used in a supervised manner by a trained medical professional who can determine that the patient has no contraindications to its use and; can effectively manage possible adverse effects that may occur during treatment.
