Semaglutide Shots
Weight management doesn’t have to feel like an uphill battle. At Core IV Therapy, our Semaglutide shots offer a science-backed solution to support lasting weight loss and improved health. Originally developed and FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, Semaglutide has quickly become one of the most effective tools for appetite control and fat reduction. By slowing gastric emptying and signaling fullness, these once-weekly injections naturally reduce caloric intake while boosting energy, metabolic function, and overall wellness.
What Is a Semaglutide Shot?
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication for Type 2 diabetes that improves insulin resistance while promoting significant long-term weight loss. Commonly recognized under the brand name Ozempic®, Core IV offers a custom-compounded Semaglutide formulation to make this therapy more accessible and effective for weight management.
At Core IV Therapy, we provide Semaglutide as a once-weekly injection that works by slowing gastric emptying—signaling fullness to your brain, reducing appetite, and lowering caloric intake naturally. This process enables powerful appetite suppression without the use of stimulants. Many patients experience improved blood sugar control, enhanced energy levels, and better overall health outcomes.
To enhance results, we often combine Semaglutide therapy with our Medical Weight-Loss program and supportive Vitamin IV Hydration sessions for optimal hydration and metabolism support.
