Semaglutide is a medication used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. It belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. These medications work by mimicking the action of a hormone called GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and promotes feelings of fullness after eating, leading to weight loss.
Semaglutide is typically administered as an injection under the skin once a week. It helps lower blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin release, slowing down stomach emptying, and reducing the production of glucagon (a hormone that raises blood sugar levels).
In addition to its use in diabetes management, semaglutide has also been approved by the FDA for the treatment of obesity in adults with a BMI (body mass index) of 30 or higher, or with a BMI of 27 or higher and at least one weight-related condition (such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol).
It's important to note that semaglutide, like any medication, may have side effects and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
