Semaglutide

What is Semaglutide

 

Semaglutide is a medication that can be used to treat type 2 diabetes and is also prescribed for weight management. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic the action of a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. By stimulating insulin production when blood sugar is high and reducing the amount of sugar released by the liver, semaglutide helps to keep blood glucose levels in check. Additionally, it slows down the emptying of the stomach, which can lead to a feeling of fullness and help with weight loss. Semaglutide is often used as a once-weekly injection, offering a convenient treatment option for long-term diabetes management and weight control
