Discover the Benefits of Semaglutide
in Murray Hill, NY
What is Semaglutide Treatment?
Semaglutide is a groundbreaking medication primarily used for managing type 2 diabetes and aiding in weight loss. This injectable drug mimics a natural hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which regulates blood sugar levels, slows down gastric emptying, and reduces appetite. At Dr. Alexander Golberg's wellness institute in Murray Hill, NY, we offer Semaglutide treatment as part of our comprehensive approach to health and wellness.

As an appetite suppressant, Semaglutide can significantly aid in weight loss, making it a valuable tool for those with obesity.
