Semaglutide Injections for Weight Loss: Before and Aftercare Instructions

Before Your Treatment

1. Medical Consultation:  Ensure you have had a comprehensive medical consultation with our healthcare provider. Discuss your medical history, allergies, current medications, and any pre-existing health conditions.

2. Medications: Inform your provider of all medications, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. You may be advised to adjust certain medications temporarily prior to the procedure.

3. Eating Habits: Maintain a balanced diet in the days leading up to your injection. Avoid large meals or heavy foods immediately before your appointment.

4. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to ensure proper hydration. This will help enhance the effects of the injection and support overall well-being.

5. Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Refrain from alcohol consumption and smoking for at least 24 hours before your appointment, as these can affect the treatment’s efficacy and your metabolism.

6. Clothing: Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing on the day of your appointment to ensure easy access to the injection site and overall comfort.

After Your Treatment

1. Monitor Blood Sugar Levels: Semaglutide can lower blood sugar. If you have diabetes or are at risk, regularly monitor your blood sugar levels as recommended by your provider.

2. Dietary Adjustments: Follow the dietary recommendations provided by your healthcare provider. Focus on portion control and choose nutrient-rich high fiber foods to support weight loss.

3. Hydration: Continue to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, which is beneficial for weight management and overall health.

4. Physical Activity: Incorporate gentle physical activity into your routine as advised. Regular exercise can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment and support weight loss goals.

5. Injection Site Care: If you experience discomfort or swelling at the injection site, you can apply a cool compress to alleviate symptoms. Avoid applying pressure or massaging the injection site.

6. Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Continue to limit alcohol intake and smoking, as these can interfere with your weight loss goals and the effectiveness of semaglutide.

7. Follow-up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to track progress, adjust dosages if necessary, and ensure the treatment is effective.

8. Side Effects: Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, or a decrease in appetite. Contact us immediately if you experience severe side effects such as persistent nausea, abdominal pain, or dehydration.
