semaglutide doctors olympia Olympia, WA Weight Loss Program (Ozempic & Wegovy) ⚠️ Important Patient Update: Semaglutide

Because of the unknown potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed infant due to the possible accumulation of SNAC, and because there are alternative formulations of semaglutide that do not contain SNAC that can be used during lactation, advise patients that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with RYBELSUS

[12] [13] Semaglutide works primarily by enhancing insulin secretion in response to elevated glucose levels, suppressing glucagon release, slowing gastric emptying, and reducing appetite through central nervous system pathways

RYBELSUS and OZEMPIC tablets are contraindicated in patients with a prior serious hypersensitivity reaction to semaglutide or to any of the excipients in RYBELSUS or OZEMPIC tablets [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)]

Remember that this phase is time-limited and appetite suppression will strengthen as semaglutide reaches therapeutic levels
