Weight Loss Welcome Letter
Hello and thank you for your interest in Ocoee Health & Wellness.
Due to our limited number of patient slots, I have become stricter about whom I am willing to work with. I am looking for clients who are pleasant to be around, able to follow instructions, and eager to put in the work necessary to reach their goals. Anyone outside of this criteria will be denied service and/or dismissed if already an established client.
For those who believe they can meet this standard, I have included some information below this letter for your review. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the medication, side effects, and pricing. Please have your questions prepared beforehand for your consultation.
New patients are seen by appointment only. There is also a one-time consult fee of $50. For those requesting weight loss injections, we will go over administration techniques to make sure you are comfortable and confident. You will then give yourself the 1st injection and take the other 3 injections home.
Dr. Alexander Endo
PharmD, Owner
*NOTE* We are extremely busy, and you may not see any availability on the calendar. Feel free to check back later. You can also follow our Facebook page for cancellations that I post.
Semaglutide Information
What is it?
Semaglutide is a selective glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. Our product is compounded with the FDA-approved and patented raw ingredient found in Ozempic® and Wegovy®.
How does it work?
Semaglutide increases glucose-dependent insulin secretion, decreases inappropriate glucagon secretion, slows gastric emptying; also acts in the areas of the brain involved in regulation of appetite and caloric intake.
Who is it for?
Adult patients with an initial body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2 (obesity) or ≥ 27 kg/m2 (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbid condition (e.g., hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or dyslipidemia).
Are there any contraindications?
Patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2.
When used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus or weight loss management, we recommend that Semaglutide be discontinued for ≥ 2 months prior to becoming pregnant.
What are the common side effects?
The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 5%) are: nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, dyspepsia, dizziness, abdominal distension, eructation, hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes, flatulence, gastroenteritis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease, and nasopharyngitis.
