The Semaglutide Process
What to Expect
Consultation
Prior to your appointment for Semaglutide in Beavercreek, our providers will get to know you during a consultation. Here we'll discuss your specific concerns and goals so we can tailor the treatment to your needs.

Before Receiving Semaglutide:
- Have the water intake discussed and agreed with your health care provider.
- Limit how much alcohol you’re drinking. (Alcohol can have an effect on your blood sugar and there is a risk that it may drop too low in combination with Semaglutide, especially if you’re a diabetic and or drinking on an empty stomach. Alcohol may irritate your stomach and worsen GI side effects when in combination with the medication.)
- Make sure your provider is aware of all medications you are taking before starting Semaglutide. Semaglutide slows down gastric emptying which could potentially impact the amount of oral medication absorbed by the body. Although clinical trials haven’t shown this to be significant with Semaglutide in particular, it’s best to use caution when taking any oral medication.
After Receiving Semaglutide:
- Exercise minim 30 min. per day even if is just a walk.
- Have a healthy and balanced diet.
- Discuss any side effects like constipation, diarrhea, nausea.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Semaglutide and how does it work?
Semaglutide is a powerful weight loss solution that suppresses the appetite, decreases the rate of digestion, and increases insulin levels. This prescribed medication is delivered weekly via a subcutaneous injection.
