How Long Does It Take For Semaglutide To Work?

Like all medications, they work a little differently in every patient. Most patients will start to see steady weight loss after one or two weeks. Weight loss is typically 5-9  pounds per week depending on dosage and starting weight. Sometimes symptoms like nausea or stomach cramping can be the first signs that the medication is working. Things that can change how fast these medications work include whether you're taking an oral dosage or an injectable dosage. The injectable version typically works more quickly. Newer versions of these types of medications may also work more quickly. If there are questions about any medication you should call your healthcare provider. Our team is here to guide our patients through this exciting new tool for effective weight loss.
