What is semaglutide and how does it work?
Semaglutide is a medicine that copies GLP-1, a hormone your gut releases after a meal. It tells your brain you are full, slows how fast your stomach empties and steadies blood sugar, so cravings quieten and smaller portions feel like enough. It is the same active medicine as in Ozempic and Wegovy, but ours is not made by Novo Nordisk: it is a DRAP-registered injection from a leading pharmaceutical company, sold under its own name. It doesn’t burn fat directly; it helps you eat less, which is why it works best with an eating and activity plan.
Semaglutide injection benefits
- Fewer cravings: appetite calms, so smaller meals feel satisfying.
- Once a week: one quick injection, on the same day each week.
- Steady, gradual loss: weight comes off over months, with your doctor watching.
- A lower monthly cost: the first four weeks cost Rs 28,000.
- Steadier blood sugar: it also lowers raised blood sugar as weight comes down.
- Doctor-led support: dose steps, side effects and coaching planned with you.
Semaglutide injection for weight loss
It is for adults whose weight affects their health, not for losing a few kilos before an event. Licences abroad cover adults with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more with a weight-related problem such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes or sleep apnoea. Health risks start at a lower weight for South Asian people, so guidelines such as the UK’s NICE use lower cut-offs, with obesity from a BMI of 27.5. Your doctor also looks at your waist, blood sugar and history, and pairs the injection with lifestyle coaching.
Semaglutide before and after
The first weeks are about settling on the lowest dose, so most people notice a smaller appetite before the scale moves much. Loss then builds as the dose rises. In the STEP 1 trial of weekly semaglutide, at a 2.4 mg dose with lifestyle support, 86% of adults lost at least 5% of their weight over 68 weeks and about half lost 15% or more; results vary from person to person. Our patients share their own stories in the videos below.

Who shouldn’t have semaglutide?
It isn’t for you if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or hoping to conceive within two months, or if you or a close relative has had medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2 syndrome. Past pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, severe stomach-emptying problems, diabetic eye disease, or diabetes medicines that can cause low blood sugar all need a careful review first.
Your semaglutide plan, step by step
- Free consultation: our team records your weight, waist and BMI and talks through your history and goals.
- Doctor’s review: your health, medicines and any tests; it is prescribed only if it suits you and is safe for you.
- Starting dose: 0.25 mg once a week, a quick injection under the skin of the belly, thigh or upper arm.
- Step by step: the dose rises no faster than every four weeks, and only while you are coping well.
- Check-ins and coaching: your weight, waist and side effects reviewed regularly, with coaching beside you.
Results and side effects
Weight comes off gradually across several months, and most people find the smaller appetite easy to live with once the first weeks pass. Nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, vomiting and headache are the most common side effects; they are usually mild, come mostly after each dose rise and ease with time. Weight tends to return when the injections stop, so your doctor plans a gradual step-down and keeps your coaching going.
