Around 40% of Americans over the age of 20 are obese. There’s a range of ways to lose weight on the market including different types of diets and medications. Unfortunately, a weight loss solution that works for one person may not be helpful for another. One of the more recent methods that are gaining popularity is Ozempic injections. While it’s primarily known as a drug used to treat diabetes, it’s being prescribed for weight loss.
For those looking to lose weight and take control of their habits, the professional clinicians and primary care providers at Park Avenue Medical are proud to administer Ozempic injections to assist you throughout your journey. Whether you’ve tried dieting or another type of weight loss medication, we will tailor a program based on your lifestyle and goals to help you achieve real results. On top of Ozempic injections, we also offer 3 other modern treatments (Mounjaro injections, Zepbound injections, and Wegovy injections) that can be used to manage type 2 diabetes, improve insulin production, and reduce risk of heart disease.

Once the drug is in the body, it works to mimic the GLP-1 hormone, which is released in the gut. As the hormone levels increase, the molecules send a message to the brain to tell it you’re full. Ozempic injections also help to slow digestion, as they increase the time it takes for food to leave the body.
While Ozempic injections haven’t been approved for weight loss, semaglutide, the active ingredient in them, has been. It’s important for those using Ozempic injections for weight loss to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine. Just like with the start of any medication, your body has to establish a new normal, meaning your weight could plateau at some points.
Ozempic/Wagovy/Semaglutide price is $289 for a one month supply
For individuals who are struggling to lose weight, there are strategies that can help you address the problem and start a path towards lasting change. Wegovy injections are a relatively new treatment option that has been approved by the FDA for use in weight loss. Wegovy contains the active ingredient semaglutide, which is also used in diabetes management. The injections work by mimicking a hormone that targets the areas of your brain that regulate appetite and food intake. This helps you feel less hungry and get full sooner, which allows you to eat less. When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, Wegovy injections can help you achieve your weight loss goals, even if you have significant progress to make.
Wegovy is administered through a subcutaneous injection once a week. Typically, patients who start these injections begin with a lower dose, which is gradually increased over several weeks to the full treatment dose. This gradual increase helps to minimize side effects and help your body adjust to new dosages. If you are considering Wegovy injections, it’s important to consult with an experienced healthcare provider to understand the potential benefits and risks. The team at Park Avenue Medical can help you determine whether this is the right course of action for your specific needs.
Whether you’ve been struggling to lose weight for years or just recently, our team will assess your lifestyle and health to determine if Ozempic injections are right for you. For years, we’ve provided quality weight-loss solutions to residents across Wallingford, North Haven, Middletown, Cheshire, Meriden, CT and the surrounding areas.
