    In a 68-week study of 1,961 individuals with obesity or excess weight, those using medical weight loss treatment lost around 35 lbs (~15% body weight) compared to 6 lbs (~2.5% body weight) for the placebo group. Average starting weight was ~232 lbs. 68-week medical study on adults with obesity (BMI ≥30) and excess weight (BMI ≥27) revealed promising results with Semaglutide Weight Loss.

If you miss doses for more than 2 weeks, call your health care provider to talk about how to restart your treatment. You can take your next dose on the regularly scheduled day.
