A Wellness Checkup, also known as a preventive health exam or annual physical, includes a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's overall health to detect potential health issues and promote preventive care. During the checkup, the healthcare provider will review the patient's medical history, including any chronic conditions, medications, and family history of diseases. A physical examination is conducted to assess vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate, as well as height and weight measurements to calculate body mass index (BMI).

Semaglutide for weight loss is typically prescribed to individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or those with a BMI of 27 or higher who have at least one weight-related health condition, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol. It is generally recommended for adults who have not been successful in losing weight through traditional methods like diet and exercise alone. Semaglutide may also be beneficial for those who require additional medical support to reduce their weight due to a significant health risk associated with obesity.
