What Are Semaglutide Injections?
Semaglutide is a weekly injectable medication originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which help regulate blood sugar levels, slow down digestion, and reduce appetite.
Clinical studies have shown that semaglutide also supports significant weight loss, even in individuals without diabetes. It works by mimicking a natural hormone that signals to the brain that you’re full.
At Dolce MD, Dr. Sanguedolce prescribes semaglutide as part of a personalized weight loss plan. He adjusts your plan based on your progress and supports you every step of the way to help you reach your weight loss goals.
True health is not measured by the absence of symptoms but by the presence of vitality, joy, and purpose in everyday living

It’s incredibly useful for someone like me suffering from anxiety especially in public because the visit was from my phone. Also, at this time securing transportation is harder for me than it has been, making this modality of healthcare a real answer to prayer.

My previous doctor has retired. I was pleasantly surprised by my visit with Dr. Sanguedolce. He answered all my questions, offered suggestions about my health care, did not rush me through the appointment to get to the next patient. He presents with confidence and knowledge as well as kindness, which I greatly appreciate in a doctor.

Is Semaglutide the same as Ozempic or Wegovy?
Ozempic & Wegovy both contain semaglutide, but they’re approved for different uses. Wegovy is FDA-approved specifically for treating obesity, while Ozempic is used to manage type 2 diabetes.
How long do I need to take it?
That depends on your goals and how your body responds. Some people stay on it for a few months, others longer. Dr. Sanguedolce will check in with you regularly and adjust things as needed.
Can I still eat what I want?
Sure – nothing’s completely off-limits. That said, semaglutide naturally helps you feel fuller with less food, so you might find your cravings changing on their own.
What are the side effects?
It’s normal to feel nausea, tiredness, or some digestive changes in the beginning. Most people say those symptoms settle down after a few weeks once their body gets used to the semaglutide treatment. If anything feels off, your provider’s there to help.
Can semaglutide help someone who’s struggled with obesity for years?
For many people, semaglutide treatment offers support where diet and exercise alone haven’t been enough. It helps your body feel full sooner and longer, so you naturally reduce your food intake without forcing it.
