Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 30-year-old man struggling with obesity, weighing over 210 pounds. Considering my efforts to lose weight through diet and exercise have not been successful, I am curious about anti-obesity medications like Semaglutide. Could you provide insights into how Semaglutide works, the potential side effects, and whether it is a suitable option for someone in my situation? Additionally, I would like to understand the overall approach to incorporating this medication into a weight loss plan and what kind of results I might expect. Are there any lifestyle adjustments or precautions I should be aware of while using Semaglutide? Your guidance on addressing my weight concerns and exploring effective solutions would be an immensely valuable doc. Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
All weight loss medications are not suitable for our health because they lead to plenty of side effects like dizziness and all. It can lead to severe muscle weakness as well. So I suggest avoiding any medications; even anti-obesity medications will cause such symptoms as well, so please be aware of all these things, all the weight-loss medications have serious health side effects. Even a Contrave (Naltrexone HCl) will have the same symptoms, so I suggest you not use a tablet. Semaglutide (glucagon-like peptide) or any counter medicine as well, because these can cause side effects as well, and if you want to use then I suggest you should get a full body check-up, and then we can think about the use of Semaglutide. So first, I suggest you try lifestyle modification and all the natural ways of weight loss, such as dieting and going to the gym.
I hope this information will help you.
Kindly revert back in case of further queries.
Thank you.
