Our program is priced at $425, which includes a comprehensive initial consultation with a physician boasting over 40 years of experience in weight loss, a personalized program tailored to your unique body and goals, ongoing follow-up consultations, and a four-week supply of medication delivered directly to your residence. Each subsequent four-week period, with progressively increasing Semaglutide dosages for optimal weight loss and a final maintenance dosage for permanent results, remains at $425. While there are less expensive options available, it's important to consider factors like dosage strength, hidden fees, and the level of medical oversight. Our program offers the peace of mind of being under the care of an experienced doctor, compared to the average cost of $1300-$1600 per month for brand-name prescriptions, excluding doctor consultations.

Most insurance companies consider Semaglutide a 'lifestyle' drug and do not cover it. We recommend checking with your insurance provider for specific coverage details. Our program's cost includes the medication and all necessary consultations and follow-ups.

Semaglutide is the active ingredient found in both Wegovy and Ozempic. Wegovy is the FDA approved brand name for Semaglutide when used specifically for weight loss. Ozempic is the FDA approved brand name for Semaglutide in a lower dose, for the treatment of adult-onset diabetes, not for weight loss. Only a physician can answer which medication is best for your body.

Semaglutide can typically be used for as long as needed to reach your goal weight. During the four clinical trials, study participants received Semaglutide for a period of 68 weeks (approximately 1 and a half years) without adverse effects. It's important to have regular consultations with our medical team to monitor your progress and adjust the treatment as necessary.

Tirzepatide has been shown to offer better value for weight reduction compared to semaglutide in some studies. The choice between the two depends on individual health profiles and treatment goals. Dr. Carroll will determine the most suitable medication for you based on a thorough medical evaluation.

Common side effects of Semaglutide, based on clinical trials, occur at very low rates. These include nausea (1.8%), vomiting (1.2%), and diarrhea (0.7%). It's important to note that these symptoms are typically mild and often decrease over time. However, if you experience persistent or severe symptoms, consult our physician for appropriate guidance. The low occurrence rates in trials underscore the safety profile of Semaglutide, making it a generally well-tolerated medication for most individuals.

It's important to discuss your medical history with Dr. Carroll to determine if Semaglutide is suitable for you, especially if you have a history of thyroid cancers or specific medical conditions like Type 1 Diabetes or pancreatitis.

No, Semaglutide is not addictive. Unlike certain weight loss alternatives like phentermine that can have addictive properties, Semaglutide works through a different mechanism of action. It mimics natural hormones in the body, specifically those involved in regulating appetite and food intake. This approach not only aids in weight loss but also aligns more closely with the body's natural processes, reducing the risk of dependency typically associated with some other weight loss medications. Our focus at BeSlimMD is on safe, effective, and sustainable weight management, ensuring that treatments like Semaglutide are both medically sound and in harmony with your body's health.

Patients in clinical trials lost 20% of their bodyweight.

However, individual results can differ. It's important to set realistic expectations and understand that everyone's weight loss journey is unique.
