WHAT IS SEMAGLUTIDE
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, meaning that it mimics the action of the human incretin glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), thereby increasing insulin secretion and increasing blood sugar disposal and improving glycemic control.
It is used as an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and long-term weight management.
It reduces food intake by lowering appetite and slowing down digestion in the stomach, helping to reduce body fat.
