Speak with your healthcare provider to see if semaglutide may be right for you.
Semaglutide may cause serious side effects, including:
- Possible thyroid tumors, including cancer. Tell your healthcare provider if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath. These may be symptoms of thyroid cancer. In studies with rodents, semaglutide caused thyroid tumors, including thyroid cancer. It is not known if semaglutide will cause thyroid tumors or a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in humans.
Who should not use semaglutide:
- Do not use semaglutide if you or any family member has ever had a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or if you have an endocrine system condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
- Do not use semaglutide if you have had a serious allergic reaction to semaglutide in the past.
Before starting semaglutide, tell your healthcare provider if you have any other medical conditions, including if you:
- Have or have had problems with your pancreas or kidneys.
- Have type 2 diabetes and a history of diabetic retinopathy.
- Have or have had depression, suicidal thoughts, or mental health issues.

Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar may include dizziness or light-headedness, blurred vision, anxiety, irritability or mood changes, sweating, slurred speech, hunger, confusion or drowsiness, shakiness, weakness, headache, fast heartbeat, or feeling jittery. Talk to your healthcare provider about how to recognize and treat low blood sugar and check your blood sugar before you start and while you take semaglutide.

Semaglutide may cause serious side effects, including:
- Possible thyroid tumors, including cancer. Tell your healthcare provider if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath. These may be symptoms of thyroid cancer. In studies with rodents, semaglutide caused thyroid tumors, including thyroid cancer. It is not known if semaglutide will cause thyroid tumors or a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in humans.
Who should not use semaglutide:
- Do not use semaglutide if you or any family member has ever had a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or if you have an endocrine system condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).

Care built around
your real goals
Weight loss,
backed by data
Steady, weekly progress
GLP-1 plans aim for gradual, sustainable loss — typically 1–2 lbs per week.
Clinically studied results
In published clinical trials, adults on GLP-1 therapy lost roughly 15% of body weight over 68 weeks.
Quieter food noise
GLP-1s slow digestion and calm appetite signals, so food takes up less of your day.
Changes you can measure
Waist, energy levels, and bloodwork often improve alongside the number on the scale.
Individual results vary and are not guaranteed. Figures shown are illustrative and reference published clinical research on GLP-1 medications, not outcomes measured in MeiraMed patients. Treatment is prescribed only when a licensed provider determines it is appropriate for you.
