Semaglutide
WHAT IS “SEMAGLUTIDE”?
Semaglutide is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists. It is primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes by helping to regulate blood sugar levels. FDA approved for weight loss. Semaglutide has proven to have beneficial effects on weight loss when used at higher doses.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Semaglutide works by mimicking the effects of a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the body. GLP-1 helps to regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin release and decreasing the production of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar. Additionally, GLP-1 slows down gastric emptying, leading to feelings of fullness and reduced appetite, which can contribute to weight loss.
