Semaglutide for Weight Loss
Semaglutide is used for weight loss in specific patients, and also helps to lower blood sugar levels, and to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke in certain patients. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist that works by increasing insulin release, lowering the amount of glucagon released, delaying gastric emptying, and reducing appetite.

Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus.
Semaglutide is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and can help you lose weight. It works by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which helps regulate blood sugar levels, reduces appetite, and slows down digestion. This combination helps in controlling blood sugar levels and promoting weight loss.
The primary benefits of using Semaglutide can include improved blood sugar control, weight loss, and a reduced risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke. It also helps in reducing HbA1c levels, which is a key indicator of long-term blood glucose control.
Semaglutide is typically administered via subcutaneous injection. It comes in a pre-filled pen or syringe that allows for easy self-administration. The injection is usually given once weekly.
