Losing weight isn’t just about willpower — it’s about the right plan, medical support, and tools that work. At Drakos Urgent Care, our weight loss program combines FDA-approved medication, expert guidance, and personalized care to help you achieve real, lasting results.
Our 3-Step Approach
- Initial Consultation & Baseline Testing Meet with our experienced healthcare providers to assess your health, review your goals, and determine the best course of action for your unique needs.
- Personalized Treatment Plan Together, we’ll create a customized weight loss plan that may include semaglutide therapy (the same active ingredient found in Ozempic® and Wegovy®), along with nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle guidance.
- Ongoing Support & Follow-Up Monthly provider visits help you stay on track and achieve safe, lasting results.
How GLP-1 Therapy Helps
Our program includes GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy, a proven, FDA-approved treatment for chronic weight management. Semaglutide works by mimicking a natural hormone in the body that helps:
- Control appetite and cravings
- Lower blood sugar levels
- Help you feel full longer
- Support heart, brain, and insulin health
- Reduce the risk of major cardiac events
At Drakos, we follow all FDA guidelines and use the latest clinical research to ensure safe and effective treatment.
What to Expect
We begin with comprehensive bloodwork to learn where you’re starting from and ensure GLP-1 therapy is a good fit to support your goals. From there, your provider will create a personalized plan designed around your goals and needs. You’ll start with a low dose that gradually increases over time (a process called titration). This helps your body adjust comfortably and minimizes side effects. Most patients find that food cravings decrease, energy improves, and weight loss becomes more consistent over the first 90 days. After that, we’ll reassess your progress and update your plan to keep you moving toward your goals. Our team will guide you every step of the way — from learning how to self-administer injections to building healthy habits that make your results last.
Is GLP-1 Right for You?
Semaglutide is approved for adults with a BMI greater than 27. It may not be suitable for patients with certain conditions such as:
- Type 1 diabetes
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Decreased kidney function
- Pancreatitis
- Medullary thyroid cancer or a family history of it
- Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2)
Your provider will review your medical history and determine whether GLP-1 therapy is right for you.
