Semaglutide Therapy
Semaglutide Therapy in Las Vegas, NV — physician-led care at TruCare Primary Clinic
About This Service
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist — the medication class behind Ozempic® and Wegovy® — that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar. For appropriate patients, it can be a genuinely effective tool for weight management. Used casually, without screening or follow-up, it can be ineffective or unsafe.
At TruCare, semaglutide therapy is physician-supervised from the first visit: screening labs and history to confirm you're a good candidate, a gradual dosing schedule, and regular follow-ups to monitor progress and side effects. It's medication plus medicine — not a subscription.

How Semaglutide Works
Semaglutide mimics GLP-1, a natural hormone released after eating. It slows stomach emptying, reduces appetite signals in the brain, and improves the body's insulin response. The practical effect most patients describe is simple: feeling satisfied with less food, with fewer cravings — which makes sustainable changes in eating actually achievable.
What Supervised Therapy Includes
- Medical screening — history, medications, and baseline labs
- A gradual, individualized dose-escalation schedule
- Injection training and support
- Regular follow-up visits to track weight, labs, and side effects
- Nutrition guidance to protect muscle while losing weight
- A long-term plan for maintenance, continuation, or tapering
Common Side Effects
The most common side effects are digestive — nausea, constipation, or reflux — and are usually most noticeable when the dose increases, improving as your body adjusts. Gradual dosing and simple eating adjustments manage most of it. Your provider will review the full risk picture, including who should not take GLP-1 medications, before you start.
