What is Rapides Urgent Care’s medical weight loss program?
Rapides Urgent Care offers a safe weight loss aid with semaglutide injections – the active ingredient in Ozempic & Wegovy! Semaglutide promotes weight loss from within, as it helps balance hormones and functions in your body. Our program will allow you to work with our providers not only with the injections, but also with routine consultations on your overall health to help you reach your weight loss goals

How it works
DAY 1: CONSULTATION & FIRST INJECTION
Start with your first consultation & injection. Your initial consultation will consist of an evaluation, taking vitals, lab testing, diet and exercise routine review, and establishing weight loss goals. Appointments are required at this time to best serve our patients.
Lab Results
Once lab results are received, we’ll call you to review. Results may take a few days
WEEKLY INJECTIONS
You will return weekly on the same day for subsequent injections.
CONSISTENT Evaluations
Each week, you will be weighed in and evaluated. If you are continuing to lose weight, the clinician will determine if it is time to go up on your dose.
MEASURE SUCCESS INSIDE & OUT
Your labs may be repeated at 3 months if determined necessary by the clinician.
ACCOUNTABILITY
We want to keep you motivated! During your weekly check-ins we’ll discuss diet, exercise and nutrition tips.

Semaglutide Medical Weight Loss Program FAQs
-
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a safe prescription weight loss aid. Semaglutide was originally created to treat patients with diabetes, however, a secondary application was later found as a medicine used for weight loss, to lower blood sugar levels, and to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events. Semaglutide works by increasing insulin release, lowering the amount of glucagon released, delaying gastric emptying, and reducing appetite.

Is Semaglutide safe?
