Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that may influence appetite and digestion by acting on gut-brain signaling pathways. Some individuals may notice reduced hunger or appetite changes within the first few weeks.
The appropriate duration of semaglutide use varies by individual and should be determined in consultation with a licensed healthcare provider. Studies have observed that some individuals experience more sustained outcomes with semaglutide use over 12 to 24 months, though treatment timelines should be guided by a licensed healthcare provider.
Factors that may influence treatment duration include:
Based on select clinical trial populations. Individual results may vary and are not guaranteed.
Discontinuation of semaglutide is possible, but some studies indicate that weight regain may occur without ongoing support for nutrition, activity, and behavior. A tapering approach, under the guidance of a licensed healthcare provider, may help support a smoother transition and maintain established habits.
Individuals with higher starting body weight or broader health goals may require longer-term treatment.
People with insulin resistance or metabolic concerns may need extended plans to manage symptoms, under the care of a licensed healthcare provider.
Gradual dosing over several weeks or months may be recommended by a licensed healthcare provider to support tolerability and reduce side effects.
Consistent participation in supportive habits, such as nutrition and physical activity, may influence long-term outcomes.

Semaglutide may be most supportive when used alongside consistent nutrition, behavior strategies, and regular check-ins with a licensed healthcare provider. Some studies have observed sustained effects in individuals using semaglutide over a period of 12–24 months, especially when paired with consistent lifestyle practices.
