Semaglutide in Naperville, IL
A GLP-1 medication that quiets appetite and cravings, prescribed and monitored throughout.
Understanding semaglutide
Semaglutide is a prescription medication that mimics a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1. That hormone helps regulate appetite, so you feel fuller for longer and your cravings settle. At Axiom it is prescribed after a consultation with Dr. Savic, picked up at the office, and adjusted as you go. Starting at $150.
Your visit, step by step
Axiom gets you started with a consultation with Dr. Savic to work out the best course of action. That appointment can be scheduled in person or over telehealth, and the medication is picked up at the office. From there, Axiom's staff and network of health professionals continue to aid you by monitoring and adjusting your medication and offering guidance on how to optimize your therapy.
Appetite, not willpower
Combined with a healthy diet and exercise, Semaglutide helps you lose weight more effectively, reduce cravings, feel fuller for longer, and improve blood sugar control.
The mechanism is the point. GLP-1 is a hormone your body already makes to signal fullness, and Semaglutide extends that signal. It is why patients tend to describe the change as food noise going quiet, rather than as fighting harder against it.
That is also why Axiom pairs the medication with guidance instead of handing it over on its own. When you have achieved your weight loss or wellness goals, the practice gives you referrals to its network of coaches, trainers, and nutritionists to help the result hold.
Watched at every step
The most common side effects of semaglutide are gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These often subside as the body adjusts to the medication, and they can be caused by too heavy of a dose.
Axiom monitors you during every step of the program so you can lose the weight comfortably. Dose is something to be tuned, not endured, and it gets adjusted based on how you are actually doing.
Semaglutide FAQs
Semaglutide is approved for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related health condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Dr. Savic reviews your history at the consultation and tells you whether it is the right fit.
Semaglutide starts at $150. The practice buys in bulk from compounding pharmacies around the country, which is what brings the cost of the medication itself down, and Dr. Durnas owns the building, so no landlord margin is priced into your visit. Those savings go to patients rather than into overheads.
