Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue approved by the FDA for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight. It is marketed under brand names Ozempic and Wegovy.
Semaglutide helps people lose weight by:
Clinical studies have shown that semaglutide can help patients lose 15-18% of their body weight over 68 weeks when combined with lifestyle modification. This makes it one of the most effective medications for treating obesity available today.
Our specialized Semaglutide Weight Loss Clinic at Renew Wellness Clinic offers personalized programs to help patients successfully lose weight and improve their metabolic health with semaglutide.
Obesity significantly increases the risk for over 200 health conditions including:
It also takes a major toll on quality of life, with negative impacts on:

This is why medications like semaglutide can be so helpful - they complement lifestyle efforts by addressing biological drivers of weight regain.
As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, semaglutide helps reduce appetite/caloric intake and enhances feelings of fullness through effects on:
It also increases insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner and delays gastric emptying.
The main ways semaglutide facilitates weight loss and metabolic improvements include:
This comprehensive, multi-targeted mechanism makes semaglutide an extremely promising therapy for obesity.
Clinical trials have demonstrated semaglutide's superiority for weight management compared to both placebo and other anti-obesity medications.
| Trial | Study Group | Weight Loss |
|---|---|---|
| SUSTAIN 7 | Semaglutide 0.5mg | ~8% |
| SUSTAIN 10 | Semaglutide 2.4mg | 16.0% |
| SUSTAIN FORTE | Semaglutide 2.4mg intensive behavior therapy | 17.4% |
These results show semaglutide can deliver "double-digit" weight loss, which is considered a major health victory for patients.
Improved glycemic parameters, waist circumference, lipids, liver enzymes, inflammatory markers, and patient-reported outcomes were also demonstrated.
